Wallaroo prefers rocky landscape, steep slopes and caves, sleeping
in the hotter part of the day, coming out at night to graze on grasses
ans small shrubs. This animal can survive without water for long periods
of time as long as it has access to food that contain water, and can
find shelter out of the sun and heat.

Wallaroo gives birth to one young after becoming sexually mature at
18 - 24 months of age. As with most wallabies they can breed any time
of the year, but will cease breeding in times of drought. Mainly solitary
animals, they stand with the shoulders back, elbows into the side and
wrists up.
