Wallabies are native to Australia.
Um...Australia?
Wallabies do not hibernate. The only truly hibernating marsupial is the Mountain Pygmy Possum, which lives in the Alpine country in the southeast: no members of the kangaroo family (including wallabies) hibernate.

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.

Wallabies have colouring that enables them to camouflage naturally within their habitat. Whether they are rock wallabies, swamp wallabies or brush wallabies, they tend to blend in with their environment.
Wallaroos are native to the country and continent of Australia. They are a mid-sized kangaroo, in between the larger kangaroos and the wallabies.
Any introduced species that exists in the wild is considered a pest in New Zealand and wallabies are one such species who destroy native flora.There are reasonably large numbers of wallabies in the wild in New Zealand particularly in the Canterbury region of the South Island. Wallabies from New Zealand have actually been used to re-introduce wallabies to Australia where numbers were dwindling. However we do have a large number of Possums (approx 70 million) which are not native to this country. They eat the Flora and birds so are rated probably number one pest in this Country.
