Wallabies are found in all of the states of Australia, 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, from bushland to arid areas. 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.

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.


Do wallabies live in the outback of Australia?

No. There is no species of wallaby that lives underground. Wallabies are members of the kangaroo family, and some much smaller species within the kangaroo family do shelter in burrows underground, but wallabies are not among them.
