The Leonardslee wallabies were introduced by naturalist Sir Edmund Loder in 1889, and are believed to be Bennett’s Wallabies from Tasmania, Australia. They are winter-hardy, with a thick coat perfect for keeping them warm during the cold English winter.
Bennett’s wallabies, also called red-necked wallabies, are members of the macropod family, which also includes kangaroos & wallaroos.
Our free-roaming wallabies have an acute sense of smell and hearing. Their large ears are capable of moving 180’ independently, which allow them to remain alert for potential predators, such as foxes.
