Wallabies have sharp claws. However, only the feet have claws. These claws are typically used to dig in the dirt or to help the wallaby gain traction as they run. Like kangaroos, wallabies pack quite a kick, so it’s best to steer clear of their clawed toes when they’re angry. That said, the claws on a wallaby are more often used for traction or digging in the dirt instead of killing prey.
This is because most wallabies are vegetarian, so they use their claws to grip and keep a grip on the soil. Since they live in rugged terrain, instead of the plains like the kangaroos, it makes sense that their claws have developed to help with traction instead of killing prey.
