The next one is the Wallaroo. to start of the wallaroo is another marsupial. you can not see the pouch on the picture because the wallaroo this is a baby one. a wallaroo is related to the kangaroo and the wallaby. it is about 55-80 centimeter's which is about the size of the kangaroo. the wallaroo is one of the largest marsupials. the wallaroo came to the earth around 4-5 million years ago. the wallaroos are found in Australia but not on any islands there like Tasmania. the wallaroo is a vegetarian so it eats shrubs and other leaves and grass ( grazer). a wallaroo lives on small mountains or slopes. the wallaroo weights about 10-22 kilos. the wallaroo has no natural enemy's as an adult but as a joey dingoes, wild dogs, and feral foxes and cats are all predators. the wallaroos nose and eyes are both good and are used to find food. the ears are good as a joey and mother to listen for its babies predators approaching. if the mother is with the child he/she is protected. the wallaroo has strong limbs that it will use to kick its predators and will badly wound them. when a baby is born it will stay in its mothers pouch for a really long time (depending on the kind of wallaroo. there are four types of wallaroos. these are the black, euro, eastern, and the common wallaroo. thank you for listening please leave comments,suggestions and please share my website to anyone you know. thank you:)
