Natural predators of the bilby include dingoes and quolls, although due to habitat loss, quolls no longer share habitats with the bilby, which has been driven further inland. Carpet pythons and Birds of Prey also pose a danger.
Feral dogs, foxes and cats are introduced predators of the bilby. Whilst not predators, introduced rabbits pose a threat to the bilby. Not only do they eat the bilbies' food, but their burrowing often causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in, trapping and suffocating the bilbies.

Wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey are also major predators of various rock-wallaby species, as these types of wallabies are more likely to be out on exposed rock faces.

Any white wallaby is a mutation, an albino, and ever more susceptible to predators than other wallabies, because it stands out easily. Introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats are the main danger to wallabies, while natural predators such as dingoes, eagles, hawks and pythons also prey on wallabies, including Bennett's wallaby.

Do wallabies have predators?
Yes. The dingo and foxes are the main predators of the wallaby. Feral cats can pose a threat to younger animals as well. Wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey are also major predators of various rock-wallaby species, as these types of wallabies are more likely to be out on exposed rock faces.
What is the predator of wallabies?
It depends on the species. Dingoes are the main predators of common wallabies such as the red-necked wallaby and the swamp wallaby, but where they frequent suburban fringes, the main predators are domestic dogs that have been left to roam. When it comes to rock wallabies, dingoes and foxes are the main predators. Feral cats also are responsible for reducing their populations, while natural predators include wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey.

What caused the banded hare wallaby to become extinct?
The Banded Hare-Wallaby is not extinct. It is currently endangered (as of 2011). It is found only on three islands off the northwest coast of Western Australia. The biggest threat to the banded Hare Wallaby comes from introduced predators such as foxes and cats. Their food source has been compromised by the proliferation of animals such as the goat and rabbit, while drought has also wiped out populations of this wallaby.
What is the brush tailed rock wallaby's habitat?
There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as endangered. Some species are extinct, some are endangered, but some are not even threatened. Some of the rock wallabies which are endangered include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby and Proserpine rock-wallaby. The reason why some species have become extinct is largely due to the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. These animals pose the biggest threat to rock wallabies.
How does a yellow footed rock wallaby defend itself from its prey?
No animal has to defend itself from its prey, as prey is what the animal eats - not what may attack it.The yellow-footed rock wallaby defends itself from its predators by hopping agilely on cliffs and rock faces which are less accessible to carnivores such as dingoes. However, some of the main predators of the yellow-footed rock wallaby are hawks and eagles, and the only defence rock wallabies have against these animals is to hide beneath cliff overhanges and within rocky outcrops.
