Characteristics When viewed, the Bennett's Wallaby has a striking beauty about it due to their graceful antics and posture. The Bennett's Wallaby, like the kangaroo and other members of the marsupial family, rear their young in pouches. At maturity the Bennett's Wallaby reaches a height of about 24 to 30 inches and weighs between 30 and 50 pounds. The males usually take on the larger size characteristics after several years. They are a brownish gray in color with light stomachs.
Some albino varieties do exist, but are in limited supply in the United States and the world.
There is nothing more fascinating or heart warming than seeing the first peek of a head from the mother's pouch or a baby that scrambles back to his mother's pouch for safety. Then there is the big baby that tries to hide in mother's pouch, only to find out that he can only get his head in. He still feels safe at that point. The Bennett's Wallaby can take cold weather with shelter. The type of shelter can vary depending on just how cold it might get in the area where they are to be kept.
