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, also known as Red-Necked Wallabies, resemble kangaroos but are smaller, standing about 3 feet tall. They have darker muzzles and paws, and their large ears can rotate 180 degrees for better hearing. With strong legs and thick tails, they balance and hop with ease, making these adorable creatures a delightful sight in the wild!
