		Wallabies happily ate away at first, but just as rabbits had done on Australia, the wallabies began wreaking ecological havoc by contributing to the loss of hundreds of native plant species and the animals that depended on those plants.
		Parma wallabies are marsupials which live in rainforests and dry forests with thick undergrowth and grassy areas.
		Parma wallabies are the most nocturnal, have the longest tail length relative to its body size, and are the most endangered of all wallaby species.

	Parma Wallaby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The renewed interest in the Parma Wallaby soon produced another surprise: in 1967 it was found that they still existed in the forests near Gosford, New South Wales.
		Further investigation demonstrated that the Parma Wallaby was alive and well, and although not common, was to be found in forests along the Great Dividing Range from near Gosford almost as far north as the Queensland border.
		The Parma Wallaby is the smallest member of the genus Macropus, at between 3.2 and 5.8 kg, less than one tenth the size of the largest surviving member, the Red Kangaroo.

		By 1965 the Parma Wallaby was thought to be extinct as, for many years, none had been captured or sighted.
		In 1966 a colony of Parma Wallaby was discovered on the island of Kawau, 30 miles north of Aukland; these are the remnants of animals imported from Australia at the end of last century.

		The tammar wallaby reduction effort was halted while the parma wallabies were caught and sent to managed breeding facilities in Australia and around the world in the hope that they would reproduce and could eventually be reintroduced to their native habitat.
		Further research proved that the parma wallaby was alive and well, and though not common, they could be found in forests areas there.

		This perception arises because the wallabies are often seen at the edge of crops, because they are known to eat crops and because the wallabies exist in relatively high numbers on the island.
		Because the autopsied wallabies had no fat reserves, it is probable that they were unable to cope with the sudden onset of cold and wet weather that occurred at Innes during the period immediately prior to the deaths.
		In the case of Tammar Wallabies, this procedure entails the careful removal of small pouch young from the captive bred mainland Tammar mothers and the placement of these young into the pouches of Kangaroo Island Tammars.

	11.0 Animal pest control programmes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Dama (Macropus eugenii), Parma (Macropus parma), Brushtailed rock (Petrogale penicillata penicillata) and Swamp (Wallabia bicolor) wallabies are all declared pests in the Auckland region.
		Although Wallabies prefer pasture and are selective in the species they feed upon when they have a choice, experience on Kawau Island has found that most native species are palatable when food is limited, and they will destroy almost all emerging native seedlings.
		Wallabies in New Zealand, therefore, have the potential to prevent regeneration, and significantly reduce the diversity, of natural areas, and cause serious economic damage to pastoral, horticultural and forestry activities.

		Conservationists would be concerned though if the wallaby colonies were large and their presence caused disruption to native wildlife — such as the devastation caused by the mink to the water vole.

		We used an inexpensive image intensifier to document the previously unstudied nocturnal behaviour of the parma wallaby, Macropus parma Waterhouse, 1846, based on a captive population of 6 male and 6 female sexually mature wallabies.
		While this 'head-rubbing' is clearly homologous with components of social behaviour in other wallabies, it seems uniquely elaborate in parmas.
