It is hard to guess what a Allied rock-wallaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Allied rock-wallaby (Petrogale assimilis) on average weights 4.63 kg (10.21 lbs).
The Allied rock-wallaby is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Petrogale). They can live for up to 13 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.2 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Allied rock-wallabys have 1 babies per litter.
