🦘💨 Some wallaby species can jump 13 feet in a single leap, and they can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour while they hop. As well as they move on land, they move pretty well in the water, too; they will “doggie paddle” (use their legs independently) to propel themselves. Our wallabies seem to enjoy sitting in the sprinklers in their yard. 👋 Meet our Bennett's wallabies near the Small Mammal House! | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
