When I was on holiday, I have learnt a lot about an animal that I have never meet: the wallaby.
The wallaby is a marsupial mammal of the macropodidae family.
The wallaby is a solitary animal.
They are together only to eat and to reproduce.
It is an herbivorous animal.He eats mainly grass, hay, cereals, roots, barks ...
He eats in the morning and late afternoon.
The rest of his time, mostly during the hottest hours of the day, he goes to the shelter to take a nap.
The wallaby drinks only in case of high heat .
He looks like kangaroo, but smaller than them .
He weighs between 33 and 55 livre when he is adult and measures between 28 and 35 inch.
Their long tail measures between 28 and 30 inch.
we recognize him with his grey thick coat with red refletion on his shoulders, and with the black of his nose and the tips of his paws.
He can run at a speed of 15km /h.
If he feels danger, he can run between 50 and 60km/h.
The wallaby lives mainly in the scrubby undergrowth, meadows and eucalyptus forests of Australia.
Especially on the east and south coasts of Australia and Tasmania.
It is not a threatened species in Australia so her hunting is allowed.
I have never seen one in my life ! And one day when I got off the train to Queensland I saw a mother and her two little ones. It was very cute.
I wanted to go to Australia since I was 11 years old.
When I traveled in Australia, I visited the largest island of kangaroos I have ever seen!
Since I came back from Australia, I can't help but dream about wallabies !!!
