No animal has to defend itself from its prey, as prey is what the animal eats - not what may attack it.
The yellow-footed rock wallaby defends itself from its predators by hopping agilely on cliffs and rock faces which are less accessible to carnivores such as dingoes. However, some of the main predators of the yellow-footed rock wallaby are hawks and eagles, and the only defence rock wallabies have against these animals is to hide beneath cliff overhanges and within rocky outcrops.
