Wallabies are a group of marsupials in the Macropodidae family (Includes Kangaroos, Wallaroos, and Wallabies) The only major difference between these three groups is the size of the animal, with Kangaroos being the largest, Wallabies being the smallest, and Wallaroos being somewhere in between in size.

Wallabies are native to large portions of Australia and New Guinea, though they have been introduced to other places including small feral populations in Scotland, Ireland, England, New Zealand, France, and Hawaii among others. Wallabies are generally found in scrubby or wooded areas with more rugged terrain, as their small size makes them better suited to moving through thick brush than their larger Kangaroo relatives, which tend to stick to the open plains, where their long lean build and speed on flat ground gives them an advantage.
