Young wallabies are known as "joeys".

An adult female wallaby is known as a "doe", "flyer", or "jill".
A group of wallabies is called a "court", "mob", or "troup". Although members of most wallaby species are small, some can grow up to six feet in length (from head to tail).
Wallabies are herbivores whose diet consists of a wide range of grass, vegetables, leaves, and foliage.
Their hind legs are very powerful and are used for bounding at high speeds and jumping great heights. They also to administer vigorous kicks to fend off potential predators. Their tail is also very powerful to help them balance.
Wallabies face several threats. Wild dogs, foxes, and feral cats are among the predators they face. Humans also pose a significant threat to wallabies due to increased interaction. Many wallabies have been involved in vehicular accidents as they often feed near roads and urban areas.

EDITORIALS -
For my double page spread I cam up with the concept of acting as if the animal was a supermodel and it was a spread on her life. I decided to mix facts with fiction from the information I found about the animal and replicate it in the style of a magazine.
I researched some fashion and animal editorial spreads as a source of influence.
