Fun Facts for Kids

• The species was first described by John Edward Grey: in 1927, he gave the wallaby its name based on a drawing by Lewin from what was then called New Holland.
• The word "wallaby" derives from the language of Eora tribe, who were aborigines of the Sidney area (Australia).
• This wallaby is nicknamed "the shadow", since the animal is extremely shy and difficult to find in the wild.
• In order to establish dominance, a Brush-tailed rock-wallaby can bite and lick the fur of a conspecific: this behavior is called allogrooming. They have also been observed nose jabbing: this is when a wallaby thrusts its nose towards another individual. These wallabies are known to communicate with each other through vocalizations such as a hissing cough sound. In addition, staring intensely is another form of communication in this species.
• The powerful legs and sharp claws allow this wallaby to climb tall trees and even nearly vertical rocks.
• Although the Brush-tailed rock-wallabies are normally nocturnal, they can be active by day, enjoying sunshine during cool weather.
• The 2009 Victorian car registration sticker features the Brush‐tailed Rock‐wallaby.
• The Rock Wallaby is a vulnerable species.
