WALLABY HABITAT
Wallabies generally prefer more remote areas which are wooded or rugged rather than open arid plains that are more suited to larger, more flat footed kangaroos. Some smaller wallabies are forest dwellers such as the pademelons (any of seven species of small marsupials) and Dorcopsulus (Macleay’s Dorcopsis (Dorcopsulus macleayi) and
Small Dorcopsis (Dorcopsulus vanheurni).
There are many wallaby species, grouped roughly by habitat: shrub wallabies, brush wallabies, and rock wallabies. Hare wallabies are named for their size and their hare-like behaviour.
