What is the life span of a wallaby?
On average, the life span of a wallaby is around 10-15 years in the wild, but they can live longer in captivity, up to 20 years or more. Various factors like habitat conditions, predators, and food availability can influence their life expectancy.
What Nailtail wallaby is extinct?
The Crescent Nailtail Wallaby Onychogalea lunata is considered to be probably extinct, although its range is very isolated.
Wallabies eat grass, herbs, leaves, fruit and plants. Wallabies are herbivores.
Wallabies are native to Australia, where they are found in all of the states and both territories, 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. Rock wallabies may inhabit areas where vegetation is sparse and the rocky hillsides are bare, or they may be found in thickly rain forested hillsides of North Queensland: again, it depends on the species. 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.
Wallabies have also been introduced to other countries such as New Zealand and Scotland.
What is the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby?
All wallabies are in the kangaroo family, but the term "wallaby" is used for a number of the smaller and more stocky species of the family. Wallaby can refer to both the smaller types of kangaroo, or to the genus Wallabia. All are Macropods.
The largest of the kangaroos, the Red Kangaroo and the two species of Grey Kangaroo, may stand up to 1.8 metres (about 6 feet) in height, whereas the largest of the wallabies is, at most, about 1 metre in height.
Is it legal to own a wallaby in Los Angeles county?
No. Regardless of local laws in the US, it is actually illegal to own a wallaby anywhere. Many people do not realise this.
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.
All depends on the size you want. Most rocks are sold for $10 and $20 rocks . it's rare to be sold for anything lower or higher. In a crack rock you get only half the weight of the rock in cocaine. For example a .2 or 20 rock would be .1 gram of coke and .1 of baking soda. Below are the listed total weights including cocaine and baking soda and how much they cost in USD.
$5 rock/50 mg total (25mgs of coke and 25mgs of baking soda)
$10 rock/.1 Total (50mgs of coke and 50mgs of baking soda)
$20 rock/.2 Total (100mgs of coke and 100mgs of baking soda)
What is the Name for Group of wives?
The name attributed to a group of married women or wives is know as a 'circle': This reference came about because in their gathering in 'coffee klatches', conversations, quilting parties the Colonial periood wives were often seen sitting in a loose circle of seating arrangements. This evolved from pioneer days when the wagonmaster in a 'westward-bound' emmigrant party would require the Conestoga wagons to be 'circled' for the night:
This configuration allowed that the cook-fire or campfire could be easily readied within the circle of wagons which was in addition a in a defensive, protective arrangfement to ward off the violent winds, raiding Indian war parties. The ' circling' provided much in the manner of easy conversation amongst the wives of the Westward-bound emmigrants
Not quite - a group name is also known as a collective noun - a noun that describes a group of like things. A herd of horses, a gaggle of geese, a flock of birds. Hers, gaggle, and flock are collective nouns.

A male weasel is called a dog, buck, jack, or hob.
You know what's funny?? there's a weasel named Buck on Ice Age 3. he's crazed up and he lost his right-eye in a massive fight with a Albino Broynox named Rudy. Well that's what Buck calls him. and yes he's a male.
Yes. Carrots do not form part of a wallaby's natural diet, but they certainly enjoy them.
Live rock is cured by putting it in the aquarium, with all the systems running, for several weeks until any die off has occured. You can monitor the cycle by testing for ammonia, which will spike first, and then nitrite, which will spike second. Once ammonia AND nitrite levels are back to zero, the liverock is cured.
How are bettongs and wallabies related?
