Is the wallaroo endangered

Answer 1

They are listed as lower risk, but not endangered.

Wallaroos are classified differently according to the species of wallaby, but none of the species are endangered.

For example, the common wallaroo is listed as "abundant", while the antilopine wallaroo is listed as "not threatened".

Answer 2

Some types of wallabies are endangered, others are not. The swamp wallaby, for example, which is the largest of the wallaby species, is classified as "common". It is adaptable to a variety of habitats and can readily be seen in farmlands, the bush, on the fringes of settlements and in reserves within cities.

Rock wallabies seem to be the most endangered, with some fifteen species known to have become extinct since European settlement. They are particularly prone to habitat loss through urbanisation or agriculture, and they are also vulnerable to introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs.

Wallabies with a conservation status of "endangered" include the following (among others):

• Brush tailed rock wallaby
• Yellow footed rock wallaby
• Proserpine rock-wallaby
• Bridled nailtail wallaby
• Banded hare-wallaby

The following wallaby species are "near threatened", "threatened" or "vulnerable":

• Parma wallaby
• Black footed rock wallaby
• Black-flanked rock wallaby
• Tammar wallaby
