Toolache Wallaby The Toolache Wallaby was a subspecies of wallaby found in abundance near Australian provinces of South Australia and Victoria. Extensive hunting, predation by foxes and loss of habitat led to extinction of this wallaby subspecies from the Australian continent. The Toolache Wallabies were mainly hunted for fur. Wallaby hunting was also considered to be a sport, and the local hunters extensively hunted these creatures to obtain trophies. Owing to all these factors, the Toolache wallabies, which were once common in Australia, became very rare. Attempts to capture and transfer them to safer sanctuaries also failed and the species became extinct after a last sighting in 1943.
