ABOUT WALLABIES!- Wallabies are usually found in Australia
- They are part of a group called ‘macropods’
- Wallabies are smaller than Kangaroos
- They often eat leaves of bushes and grass
- They are active at night and rest during the day
- They have strong back legs with long feet
Physics Aspects!
- They are only able to move their legs independently while swimming
- The top speed of the average wallaby is about 48 km/h
- Just like the Kangaroos, they have large and strong tendons in their hind legs which act as “springs”
- Wallabies do not run instead, they jump and bounce.
Biology
Size Head and body length ranges from 11 to 91 in (290–2,300 mm); tail length ranges from 6 to 43 in (150–1,090 mm); weight from 3 to 187 lb (1.4–85 kg)
Number of genera, species 11 genera; 62 species
Wallaby Reproduction
- Breeding Season: January and February
- Gestation: 28 Days
- Young wallabies(Joeys) are born small, undeveloped and vulnerable.
- As soon as they are born, they crawl into their mother’s pouch and remain for 2 months
- They continue to develop over the next 7 months
- If in danger, joeys return to their mother’s pouch
- Female wallabies can undergo embryonic diapause
- The life span of a wallaby is 9 years in the wild
Values Aspects
Brave
When threatened or being attacked, Wallabies don’t
Hesitate to fight back and use their legs for powerful kicks.
Values Aspects
Caring
When born, young wallabies crawl to their mother’s pouch
and stay there for about 2 months and the mother takes
care of them while they develop
In times of conflict and war, to whom can we
turn?( What are some
defense mechanisms the wallaby has to protect itself?)
The wallaby uses its strong back
legs and elongated hind feet to deliver
powerful kicks to enemies and to
defend themselves
How can we ensure
Singapore’s economic
competitiveness?
(How has the animal evolved or adapted itself
to survive?)Wallabies use their strong hind legs as
springs to be able to move in the wild, travel in long distances, and
escape from predators.

Reflections
Rovin Denesse(Leader)There were a lot of
pressure in doing this project. As the leader, I
tried my best to keep my members active in doing
this project. We were able to finish the project in time and we also had fun during the process.
Alvin(Maths Expert)Doing this project was fun and exciting. We enjoyed learning and researching on our
animal.
Azilah(Humanities Expert)
I helped taking photos and was able to gather enough information but
had trouble with managing time to do our presentation but we are still able to finish in time
Wei Rui(Science Expert)I was in-charge in taking pictures during the Zoo
trail. It was fun but challenging for the time
was limited.
Andrew(Time Keeper)It was so challenging for
there were some problems along the way
but we managed to finish our project on time.
