Perfect for Australian animals school plays, marsupials classroom projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and bounding imaginative adventures.

The wallaby is a brilliant choice for exploring the diversity of Australian marsupials - there are over 30 species, ranging from the tiny pademelon to the large red-necked wallaby, which makes for a fascinating classroom discussion about animal variation within a single group.

5 Interesting Facts About Wallabies!

Wallabies and kangaroos are essentially the same animal at different sizes - the distinction is informal, with smaller species called wallabies and larger ones kangaroos. There's no strict scientific boundary between them.
Rock wallabies have specially textured feet - their paw pads have a rough, granular surface that grips rock faces like climbing shoes, allowing them to navigate near-vertical cliff faces with extraordinary agility.
Some wallaby species have been introduced to unexpected places - escaped or released wallabies have established wild populations in Britain, France, Hawaii and even the Derbyshire Peak District, where a small colony survived for decades.
Baby wallabies (joeys) are born after just 28 days gestation - they then spend 6–9 months in the pouch developing before emerging, and continue to return to the pouch for comfort and safety for several months after.
Wallabies can delay the development of a fertilised egg - like kangaroos, they practise embryonic diapause, keeping a backup embryo on standby that begins developing as soon as the current joey leaves the pouch.
