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.

Can you keep a wallaby as a pet in New Zealand?

No. Wallabies have been introduced to New Zealand, where they have become an environmental problem. Although they are classified as pests, under Australian law they are not permitted to be kept as pets anywhere in the world exceot for the Australian state of Victoria. The Australian government has only permitted the export of kangaroos and wallabies overseas for non-commercial purposes. This means that smaller, private zoos have been permitted to have them. Unfortunately, this has resulted in numerous kangaroos and wallabies escaping from their enclosures (due to mismanagement and lack of understanding of the animals' needs), causing the development of feral populations overseas. Despite permitting the export of these animals, this still does not mean that kangaroos or wallabies may be kept as pets. Anyone who sells kangaroos or wallabies overseas is, in effect,flouting Australian law by exploiting them for commercial purposes.
