Wallabies

7 1/2 months. They can sometimes leave as early as six months or as late as eight months.

I am not sure if there is any scientific proof available, but I was advised by a shooter today (one would think they have experience in knowing), that the Bennett's Wallabies' fur begins to lighten as they starve :( We have had a drought here in Australia, and where I am in Tasmania there are a lot of wallabies starving to death :( So just maybe it could be said that the wallabies' fur colour changes in a very dry season of no food...

Wallabies primarily eat grasses, leaves, and various types of vegetation. They are herbivores and often graze on shrubs, herbs, and fruits, depending on their habitat. Their diet can vary based on the specific species and the environment they live in, but they generally prefer tender, young plant material.

Yellow-footed Honeyguide was created in 1981.

There are around 30 species in the wallaby family.

You must mean how long is their gestation period. Well they need only about 30 days until actual birth, but being marsupial they will also need to spend a long time in mom's pouch, as much as 8 or 9 months. Then finally they're wallabies, no longer just wannabes.

Sadly the last of the Wallabies died in 2009. About 25 Wallabies were set free from a private zoo at the start of the 2nd World War, they adapted well to the Staffordshire Moorlands until most died during a severe winter in the 70's.

Yes. The main character in the Australian children's TV series "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" was not only a wallaby - it was several wallabies. Wallabies cannot be trained, and the animals used in the show kept escaping, so had to be replaced quite frequently.

It's also known as the 'mala'. It's an Australian marsupial. Incidentally, you made a slight error in the Latin name - it's Lagorchestes hirsutus.

Kangaroo shoes, also known as jumping stilts or skyrunners, are most popular in Australia. It's best to find these shoes on Australian websites, as they specialize in these types of shoes.

Wallabies give birth to just a single joey at a time.

Half are male and half are female. Otherwise, wallabies could not reproduce.

Rock wallabies are not extinct. There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as even endangered. Some species are extinct, some are endangered, but some are not even threatened. Some of the rock wallabies which are endangered include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby and Proserpine rock-wallaby.

the reason why some species have become extinct is largely due to the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. These animals pose the biggest threat to rock wallabies.

No. The Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby is the largest of just the Rock wallaby species, with adults having a head to body length of between 48 and 65 cm, and a tail length of 57 to 70 cm. Adults weigh between 6 and 11 kg.

There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as endangered, let alone critically. The Brush-tailed rock wallaby is critically endanged in Victoria, but not in Queensland or New South Wales, where it is also found.

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.

Wallabies cannot dig deep holes or burrows. They can only scrape away surface soil to dig a hollow in which to rest.
