I’m a Wallaby

I have the most beautiful back yard in the world.

I live in the outback.

I am from Australia.

I am friends with the kangaroo.

We’re from the same place.

We’re similar in looks.

We’re smaller in size.

Wallabies are just as cute as kangaroos and are just as fast.

Wallabies also make good kickers as they have great power to thrust their legs forward for jumping and kicking.

They can attain a speed of 35 miles per hour.

There are nearly 30 species of wallabies yet only 4 species of kangaroos.

Wallabies are smaller versions of kangaroos growing to a height of 3 feet while kangaroos grow to a height of 6 feet so you wouldn’t expect to see them evenly matched in a boxing ring.

Wallabies live on grasslands, in rainforests and even on mountain ranges.

They are native to Australia but have found home in England’s countryside and even the Hawaiian islands and are known to habitat in New Zealand.

Wallabies are beautiful animals and considered shy and prefer being alone in their natural habitat.

They usually shelter in the shade during the day and are more active at night.

Wallabies are very protective of their young and live in groups known as mobs consisting of mother, father, young joeys and young jills and other members of the mob.

They love the wilds where they make their home and they can live to 12 years in age but they have predators they must stay clear of and sadly have been victims to roadway vehicle accidents as they do tend to roam in areas with vehicle traffic.

They’ve experienced loss on the roads like deers and kangaroos who also been victims to vehicle traffic.

You don’t want to get too close to a wallaby because they have strong kicking skills and can hurt someone in the wilds.

I’m a kind and beautiful animal and I love to roam around in the wild jumping and running because
