Description
[ Back to top ]
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: The species previously occupied Acacia shrubland areas and grassy woodland in the semi-arid regions of eastern Australia. Based on surveys carried out during the 1980s, the species showed a preference for Brigalow areas and the larger alluvial
flats of the Dingo region. Investigations of habitat
use on Taunton National Park revealed nocturnal
feeding ranges
between pasture and young Brigalow regrowth areas. However, during drought
periods, wallabies are forced to forage
further into open pastures.[1]
