Wallabies

FURRY FRIDAY ~ (on Saturday!~ as per usual...)

THE WALLABY is like a mini kangaroo...



There are 30 species of wallaby. This one's a swamp wallaby wallabia bicolor from Queensland:



They are native to Australia, though colonies have been introduced to New Zealand and parts of the United Kingdom(!) including the Isle of Man.... There have been wild, or "ferral" wallabies on the Hawaiian island of Oahu since they escaped from a zoo nearly 100 years ago....



You can even get albino wallabies, like this pair, who look a little strange. Surely they need sunscreen on those pink ears...?!?



Pose nicely for the camera now..!



Young wallabies are called joeys...







This skinny little doot reminds me of a bat!



Hope y'all are having/had/will have a cheery weekend!!
