If you have been following Wild Facts all week (and I know some of you have been) then you may have noticed that we have talked about a couple of Australian animals such as the wombat and the koala bear.\u00a0 I figured I would end the week with another Australian animal.\u00a0 Actually, this animal is also a marsupial. Anyone else find it interesting that their are a lot of pouched animals living in Australia? By this point, I am sure you have read the title and realize that I am of course talking about the Wallaby!<\/p>\n

Wallabies are smaller than their kangaroo cousins but have some very similar characteristics. Earlier this week I mentioned that the koala bear and the wombat were also related to the kangaroo.\u00a0 It seems that everything in Australia is related to that hippity-hop animal.\u00a0 Their family reunions would be a blast although I bet it would be tough to convince them to come out of their pouches long enough to enjoy the company.<\/p>\n

If you look at the picture above (go ahead and look again) you will notice that the wallaby has a very long tail. In fact, their tail can be as long as their entire body.\u00a0 The wallaby puts this long, powerful tail to good use as it helps balance them while jumping around all day.\u00a0 As well, they can use this tail to prop themselves up into a sitting position.\u00a0 How weird would it be to come around a corner and see a bunch of wallabies just sitting on their tails. This is actually possible since wallabies tend to be a social animal and will often forage with other wallabies.\u00a0 It makes sense since nobody likes eating alone! While we are on the topic of foraging, I guess I should let you know what these critters like to eat. The majority of their diet is made up of grasses, however, when they feel like mixing up their diet they will also feed on leaves, shrubs and berries.\u00a0 Personally, I would take berries over grass, leaves or shrubs!<\/p>\n

If you are bored and feel like watching a baby wallaby at the zoo then check out the video below.<\/p>\n

Well folks, that just about does it for me today!\u00a0 Have a great weekend and I will see you all on Monday.\u00a0 Although, if I can get motivated, you may see me around the site this weekend but we shall see!<\/p>\n
