Wallaby

Wallaby

The largest wallaby, the brush wallaby, reaches 3 ft in height. However, most wallabies, including this albino Bennett's wallaby, are about the size of a hare. Wallabies have long, powerful hind limbs, long tails, short forelimbs, large ears and a pouch. Wallabies are vegetarian and feed primarily on grass and roots. Hunted for their fur and meat, the wallaby numbers have greatly decreased. Wallabies are found in Australia and New Guinea. [BM] {FW}
