	Wallaby
		Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas, less so on the great semi-arid plains that are better suited to the larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed kangaroos.
		The three nailtail wallabies (one extinct) and the four typical hare-wallabies make up another group, and New Guinea, which was until fairly recent geological times a part of mainland Australia, has at least 5 species of New Guinea forest wallaby.
		Wallabies is also the nickname for the Australian rugby union national team, which won the Rugby World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and lost in the final match in extra time to England in 2003.

		The bridled nailtail wallaby (Onychogalea fraenata) is one of the most endangered macropods in Australia and underwent a dramatic decline, from an extensive range throughout semi-arid eastern Australia to a single remnant population in central Queensland.
		This last remaining wild population of bridled nailtail wallabies fell to fewer than 500 individuals in the mid-1990s during a protracted drought.
		The aim of this study is to assess the current population dynamics and genetic diversity of a translocated population of bridled nailtail wallabies after a severe drought, and to make recommendations to managers to ensure the continued success of the translocation project.

		A wallaby is any of about 30 species of macropod.
		Essentially, a wallaby is any macropod that isn't considered large enough to be a kangaroo and has not been given some other name: there is no fixed dividing line.
		Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas, less so on the great semi-arid plains, which are better suited to the larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed kangaroos.

	Queensland Museum - Endangered Species - Queensland's Vanishing Wildlife - Bridled Nailtail Wallaby
		The removal of cover by sheep, cattle and rabbits, combined with droughts, has left Bridled Nailtails vulnerable to predation by feral cats and foxes. In Queensland the clearing of 5,700,000 hectares of brigalow and softwood scrubs has reduced the area of this wallaby's preferred habitat by around 95%.
		Bridled Nailtail Wallabies disappeared from the mallee scrubs of New South Wales and Victoria in the early 1900s. Today only one population of around 400 animals remains in remnant brigalow scrubs of Taunton National Park, central Queensland.
		Research by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage has shown that loss of native grasses, lack of preferred brigalow regrowth areas and drought within their limited habitat hamper their recovery. Dingoes and feral cats prey upon them, particularly their newly emerged pouch young.
