All wallabies are marsupials or pouched mammals. Wallaby young are born tiny, helpless, and undeveloped. They immediately crawl into their mothers' pouches where they continue to develop after birth usually for a couple of months. Young wallabies, like their larger kangaroo cousins, are called joeys. Even after a joey leaves the pouch, it often returns to jump in when danger approaches, Females carry a baby Wallaby and males fight for a female Wallaby. Alpine Wallaby reproduce sexually. Alpine Wallaby are found in Papua New
Guinea. A alpine Wallaby’s organism niche is a small group, or something that appeals to a small percentage of the whole population.

    3. Environmental Niche:The niches are all the same because the species’ ”roles” are all the same. They all hunt for their food (scavengers), and they are all tertiary consumers in a food chain or food web. They however, do not have the same environment that all of the different species live in. They all live in different areas.…

Another major issue that has contributed to the declining number of M.fasciatus has been natural fire and cyclones that have occurred which was resulted in habitat loss for the specie. Another reason for the reduction in population size and distribution has been attributed to the introduction of the European red fox Vulpes and also feral cats which prey on the M.fasciatus (Australian wildlife society,…

    Biological isolation is a contributing factor to the unique difference the Australian environment has. The biological isolation over the past 40 million years since the separation for Australia from Gondwanaland has allowed the flora and fauna to evolve to fit the Australian environment. But the flora and fauna from other continents that Australia has been connected to, still share some similar qualities and shared their flora and fauna. An example of similarities from the formation of Gondwanaland is shared banksia species that are found in Australia, Southern Africa and India. Also the southern beech is found in Australia, New Guinea and South America, and there are fossil remains in Antarctica. The African ostrich, Australian emu and the South American rhea are very closely related flightless birds. This shows that biological isolation is a major point of the uniqueness of the Australian environment.…

    As in the case of the Arizona agave, it was recovered and removed from the endangered species list due to the hybridization of two common and abundant species of agave as they essentially overlapped. By the same token, the Mexican wolf was subsequently thrown into endangerment due to improper conservation evaluations and lack of ecological research. This goes to show that ecology has come a long way since the nineteenth century, and has ultimately worked its way toward better scientific evaluations and stricter conservation…

    Do animals have feelings? We may never know for sure, but for those of us who think they do, there are animal rights groups. For those of us who don't think so, or just don't care, there's indifference and there's hunting. The morality of sport and commercial hunting has been in question for centuries. I could open a economy size can of worms about fox hunting in England, whale hunting in Japan, and tiger hunting in Africa. I think it's safe to say that most of us are supportive of protecting endangered species, but what about the plentiful fauna of Missouri? Chock full of birds, fish, deer, and rodents, should they be protected as well?…
