Meaning of "wallabies" in English

Wallabies are small to medium-sized marsupials that are closely related to kangaroos. They belong to the family Macropodidae and are native to Australia and nearby islands. Wallabies are known for their powerful hind legs, long tails, and ability to jump great distances. They are typically more solitary than kangaroos and prefer forested and rugged landscapes, although they can be found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands and savannas. Wallabies are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses and leaves. The diversity in species leads to variations in size, color, and habitat preferences.
