	Outback-Info.de - Australien Kangaroo
		The Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroos live where rainfall is greater than 250 millimetres a year, through eastern Australia and across the southern coast to south-west Western Australia.
		These wallabies are so named because of the horny spur they have at the end of their tails.
		One, the Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby (Onychogalea lunata) is extinct.

	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 Banded Hare Wallaby is thought to be the last remaining member of the once-numerous subfamily Sthenurinae, and although once common across southern Australia, is now restricted to two islands off the Western Australian coast which are free of introduced predators.
		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.

	Macropod : Information and resources about Macropod : School Work Guru
		Macropods are marsupials belonging to the family Macropodidae, which includes kangaroos, wallabies, tree kangaroos, pademelons, and several others.
		The famous kangaroo hop is not simply a matter of having strong legs: kangaroos and wallabies have a unique ability to store elastic strain energy in their tendons.
		The main limitation on a macropod's ability to leap is not the strength of the muscles in the hindquarters: the greatly elongated foot provides enormous leverage and the key factor is the ability of the joints and tendons to stand up under the strain of hopping.

		In general, a wallaby is smaller and has a stockier build than a kangaroo; a wallaroo is any of a few species somewhat intermediate in size between a wallaby and a kangaroo.
		Additionally, a small wild population of wallabies is known to exist in Hawai'i, in the upper regions of Kalihi Valley of the island of Oahu.
		Australia's national rugby union team is known as The Wallabies and uses a green wallaby on a yellow background as its logo.

	Macropod - BIRD
		A macropod is any member of the kangaroo family Macropodidae, which also includes the wallabies, tree kangaroos, pademelons, and several others.
		There are more than 50 macropods: the family is the third-largest among the marsupials (after the opossum and the carnivore groups); one of the most widely distributed; and it contains nearly all the largest surviving species.
		There are two subfamilies: the Sthenurinae was highly successful in the Pleistocene but is now represented by just a single species — and a vulnerable one at that, the Banded Hare-Wallaby — the remainder make up the subfamily Macropodinae.

	Wallaby - BIRD
		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.
		There are about 16 species and the relationship between several of them is poorly understood.

	Eastern Hare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This fleet and agile wallaby was once one of the most common of all marsupials on the inland plains of southeastern Australia.
		Its habits were rather hare-like in that by day it sat still in a well-formed ‘seat’, usually in the shelter of a tussock.
		Perhaps competition with cattle and sheep, which before 1890 were present in unsustainably high numbers, or changed burning patterns, or the spread of cats, were decisive factors.

	Second brush-tailed rock wallaby joey confirmed at colony north of Goulburn
		The NPWS* is celebrating the arrival of a second brush-tailed rock wallaby joey within a small, isolated colony north of Goulburn.
		The confirmation of the second joey within the past six months follows a decision two years ago to introduce two males from the Australian Capital Territory's Tidbinbilla group among a small, all-female colony to see if they could breed and re-establish a viable future.
		"We are also very fortunate that the owners of the land are enthusiastic about protecting their colony of wallabies and over the years have become knowledgeable, undertaking a considerable amount of the monitoring that keeps us informed of the colony's condition.

	Eastern Hare-wallaby
		The Eastern Hare-wallaby was common in open plains country around the Murray River and in the grasslands and woodlands of western Victoria and southeastern South Australia, but it has not been seen alive this century.
		Our only information on the biology of the Eastern Hare-wallaby comes from reports made by naturalists John Gould and Gerard Krefft in the mid-nineteenth century.
		During the day it crouched in a scrape in the shelter of a grass tussock, hopping away at high speed if alarmed.

		During the day the Eastern Hare-wallaby slept in it shelter which it excavated under large tussocks, and foraged at night.

	Study: Dingoes may be good for prey
		TOWNSVILLE, Australia, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Researchers said the re-introduction of the dingo -- Australia's leading natural predator -- could improve the survival rate of species it often attacks.
		James Cook University researchers, in a news release, said the disappearance of several marsupial species -- such as the Eastern hare-wallaby and the lesser bilby -- could be traced to the eradication of the dingo, the university said.
		Biologists had blamed other factors for the animals' extinction, including the introduction of rabbits and diseases, sheep farming and the way people use fire to clear land.

	Disrupted
		Plants can crowd out and eliminate other plants and predators can wipe out a whole species of prey.
		Examples of animals that have gone extinct due to the introduction of exotic species include the Jamaican wood rail, the Eastern hare-wallaby, and the Round Island boa constrictor.
		Finally the use of toxins in the environment by humans to control pests endangers some species and upsets the balance of natural food chains.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Lagorchestes leporides
		This endemic Australian species has not been recorded since 1890.
		It has been suggested that an important factor in the decline of hare wallabies has been alteration of grassland habitat through trampling and grazing by sheep and cattle.
		The removal of aboriginal Australians from large areas by European settlers may also have contributed to loss of hare wallabies by resulting in the removal of regular winter burning regimes and increasing the likelihood of devastating lightening-caused fires in summer months.
