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.
Wallabies can live in the outback, but not all species do so. Rock wallabies are the most common types of wallabies found in the outback, although they are not restricted to the outback. Wallabies are also found in the mulga and mallee scrublands of the outback. The various species of swamp wallabies tend to be found in bushland closer to settled areas, and in coastal regions.
No, male wallabies do not have pouches. Only female wallabies have pouches to carry and nurse their young joeys.
Wallaroos are found in Australia alone. Contrary to popular opinion, they are not a mixture of kangaroos and wallabies, but are separate species of their own.
