The Wallaby is one of the most nocturnal of the kangaroo and wallaby species. This has a long tapering tail used for balance when jumping, their hind feet being narrow and long also help during locomotion. They also have peripheral vision, as well as keen sense of smell. As for their diet, they are grazing animals and usually prefer to graze in open plains where they can see predators coming. although they do venture into wooded areas to find young leaves with which they supplement their diet.
