(b) Habitat: Bennett’s Wallabies primarily live throughout the coastal forests of eastern and southern Australia and Tasmania. They could also be found in New Zealand and Bruny Island. Their habitat ties are environments that include open areas, brush areas, rock outcroppings and forests.
(c) Food: Wallabies are herbivores. Their diet is mainly made out of grasses, shrubs, and bushes. Wallabies have large jaw room and large teeth which makes it easier for them to chew their food. Bennett’s wallabies are mainly nocturnal which means that they eat during the night. During the day they rest so that they could have enough energy at night.
(d) Population: There are a lot of different species in the same genera. Some examples are the Tamar wallaby and the swamp wallaby. Similarities between these animals are that they belong in the same family and both live in Australia. Some differences are that swamp wallabies have a lighter shade of color than Bennett’s wallabies. There are about 67 species. Bennett’s wallabies are not currently increasing but they are not in endangerment either. …show more content…
The wallaby offspring are carried in the wombs. After they give birth they keep them in their pouches until they are old enough. Bennett’s wallabies breed very easily especially when they are in captivity. They usually have one baby per year. They refer to their offspring as a joey. At about 7 months the joey begins to come out of the pouch but when it feels that there is danger they head right back to their mother’s pouch. When they are about 10 months they finally leave their mothers pouch. They can breed for many years right up to their life
