Eats
Wallabies are herbivores, specifically a grazing species, eating herbs and grasses and getting most of their water from roots during dry spells.
Lives
Bennett's Wallabies are typically found in Tasmania, but can be throughout the eastern coast of Australia. They live in shrublands and forests with open areas nearby, but as they have become more urbanized they tolerate a diversity of habitats including farmlands.
Behavior
Bennett's Wallabies are typically solitary, but will congregate during feedings. They are also crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dusk and dawn.
Description
Bennett's Wallabies are also called Red-Necked Wallabies, they are often compared to kangaroos as they have a similar appearance. Wallabies are much like small kangaroos at only 3 feet tall, they also have much darker colorations on their muzzle and paws. Wallabies have large ears that can rotate 180 degrees independently of the other, as well as large legs and thick tail to help them balance and hop.
Did you Know?
