What is the maximal age a Agile wallaby reaches?
An adult Agile wallaby (Macropus agilis) usually gets as old as 12 years.
Agile wallabys are around 30 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 449 grams (0.99 lbs) and measure 1.2 meter (4′ 0″). As a member of the Macropodidae family (genus: Macropus), a Agile wallaby caries out around 1 little ones per pregnancy, which happens around 1 times a year. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 64.6 cm (2′ 2″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
