Introduction

Agile Wallabies live in groups of up to ten animals, but may aggregate in larger numbers when feeding.  They are extremely alert and can move very rapidly when startled.

Native grasses, leaves and fruits.  May dig into soil to obtain roots.

Births may occur at anytime of year, with a peak from May to August.  Young remain in the mother's pouch for seven to eight months and continue to suckle until ten to 12 months of age.

Open forests and adjacent grassland near rivers and streams, in coastal areas of tropical Australia.
