A Close Encounter
We were walking along a trail in The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Gardens, Port Augusta when we encounter this Wallaby standing very still, partly in the shade.
I just have enough time to snap before it quickly hopped off.
Wallabies are marsupials related to kangaroos.
There are about 30 species of wallaby.
The natural habitat of the wallaby varies by group, such as the brush, rock, swamp, forest and shrub wallabies.
The lifespan of wallabies varies by species, but ranges from about 7 to 18 years.
Wallabies are almost identical to kangaroos but smaller.
They range in size from the size of a rabbit to almost 2 meters (6.5 feet) from head to end of tail.
The soft, woolly fur can be gray, brown, red or almost black. The belly is lighter.
Wallabies are herbivores. They eat a variety of plants such as grasses, sedges and leaves.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated...
