Four new wallabies arrived at Colchester Zoo in May 2014 from Woburn Safari Park to join our current group of Bennett's wallabies, bringing their total up to 13. The 4 new arrivals are all male as are our existing residents at 'Wallaby Walkabout'!
This species are most commonly found in Tasmania living on a diet of leaves being particularly partial to eucalyptus trees. Our new arrivals are settling in well to their walk through enclosure which gives visitors the chance to get up close with the species in our Australian themed exhibit. Our wallabies are very friendly, often stopping to sunbathe on the paths and welcoming visitors into their home.
If you'd love the chance to get up close to some of Australia's most well-known species then why not visit us and pop along to familiar friends where 'Wallaby Walkabout' is located.
