The question assumes that wallabies all live in the grasslands. They don't. In fact, very few wallabies live in the grasslands. Wallabies are better adapted to rocky slopes and hillsides, or thick bushland where they can move agilely around and between trees to evade possible predators.

Wallabies are particularly agile, more able to hop up and down slopes than their larger relatives, the Red and Grey kangaroos. Wallabies have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs", and they hide in bushland where they can quickly and easily escape from potential predators, dodging back and forth between trees and up and down slopes.

The mother wallaby spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times in her habitat (again, not usually the grasslands), she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. The mother can also produce two different types of milk to suit the needs of two different aged joeys. She might have a more mature joey that spends less time in the pouch, while a very young embryo has attached itself to a teat. Each joey has different milk requirements - which the mother is able to supply.

Wallabies have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does.
