Some types of wallabies are endangered, others are not. The swamp wallaby, for example, which is the largest of the wallaby species, is classified as "common". It is adaptable to a variety of habitats and can readily be seen in farmlands, the bush, on the fringes of settlements and in reserves within cities.
Rock wallabies seem to be the most endangered, with some fifteen species known to have become extinct since European settlement. They are particularly prone to habitat loss through urbanisation or agriculture, and they are also vulnerable to introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs. They also fall prey to wedge-tailed eagles which can easily capture them when they are exposed on rock faces.
Endangered wallabies include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby, Proserpine rock-wallaby, Bridled nailtail wallaby and Banded hare-wallaby
