Australia and New Guinea is the best place to find Wallabies. Wallabies are a member of the Kangaroo family and share many of the same habits and lifestyles of the kangaroo. While Australia and the outback is the normal habitat for Wallabies, a rare spotting in the U.K. has been seen and photographed.

Wallabies have been introduced to a number of different regions around the world, such as Scotland and New Zealand. They are native to Australia, where they are found in all of the states, including the island state of Tasmania. Many species live in bushland, but there are also numerous varieties especially suited to rocky hillsides.

Wallabies are actually grouped according to the habitat in which they live, so there are swamp wallabies, brush wallabies,and rock wallabies.

Swamp wallabies inhabit fairly flat bushland areas which are reasonably open, unlike the brush wallaby which prefers more closed forest, with denser undergrowth. Rock wallabies are especially suited to rocky hillsides and mountainsides, including open rock faces. Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons why certain species of rock wallaby are so vulnerable - wedgetail eagles and other Birds of Prey take advantage of the wallabies when they are out on the rocky, bare hillsides, readily swooping in for an easy meal.

Are wallabies in the UK?

Do wallabies live in the outback?

Wallabies can live in the outback, but not all species do so. Rock wallabies are the most common types of wallabies found in the outback, although they are not restricted to the outback. Wallabies are also found in the mulga and mallee scrublands of the outback. The various species of swamp wallabies tend to be found in bushland closer to settled areas, and in coastal regions.


Why do most wallabies live in Australia?

Wallabies are Australian animals, like kangaroos, platypuses and echidnas. The main reason wallabies thrive in Australia is that the country has few natural predators of wallabies. these animals are quite defenceless, so the biggest threat to wallabies comes from introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs. Wallabies have proliferated where they have been introduced to New Zealand for the same reason - lack of predators. Wallabies do not dig or burrow, or fight in defence: if there were ever wallabies on other continents, their population would have been quickly decimated by the larger carnivores which are found there.

What is the wallaby's climate region?

Wallabies are native to Australia, where they are found in all of the states, including the island state of Tasmania. This means they are found in the cool-temperate and warm-temperate zones, as well as sub-tropical and tropical zones. Wallabies are grouped according to the habitat in which they live, so there are swamp wallabies, brush wallabies, and rock wallabies. Swamp wallabies inhabit fairly flat bushland areas which are reasonably open, unlike the brush wallaby which prefers more closed forest, with denser undergrowth. Rock wallabies are especially suited to rocky hillsides and mountainsides, including open rock faces. All of these habitats are found in a variety of Australia's climate zones.
