Wallabies

This is Paula ….so of course, I had to look up some info on Wallabies.

 

There are 30 species of wallabies that are native to Australia and Tasmania.

 

An adult wallaby weighs about 15 – 26 kg. The males are 77-88 cm in height and the females are about 70-84 cm tall. Their tail is 80 cm long, which is almost the length of their entire body. (hmmm….so what’s that in American?  My metric converters tell me somewhere around 50 pounds & 3 feet tall.)

 

Wallabies are herbivores and eat mainly roots, grass, tree leaves and ferns. They rest during the day and are active mainly at night.

 

The collective name for a group of wallabies is a ‘mob’. (Ha!  Mom saw the Australian Mob!!  I LOVE this!!)

 

And they’re ADORABLE.
