Wallaby Watch - GaiaZOO, Kerkrade, Netherlands

Welcome to the indoor enclosure of the yellow-footed rock-wallabies at GaiaZOO in Kerkrade, Netherlands.

The room is built as an artificial rock pile, with sandstone slabs, log stumps and a leaning branch, because these animals evolved to live on cliffs and rocky outcrops rather than open ground.

Yellow-footed rock-wallabies come from the dry ranges of inland Australia. They are the most brightly marked of the rock-wallabies, with a ringed orange tail and rust-coloured legs.

Expect stillness for long stretches and then a sudden burst of movement. Rock-wallabies bound between ledges rather than walking, and they are most active around dawn, dusk and after dark.

The wallabies arrived here in December 2025 and the camera covers their indoor quarters. The Netherlands is one hour ahead of UTC, two in summer.

Did You Know? Rock-wallabies climb with their feet, not their claws. The soles are thickly padded and roughened like the sole of a climbing shoe, giving them enough grip to sprint up near-vertical rock and land on ledges barely wider than a foot. Their long tail works as a counterweight rather than a support.
