The next animal to finish the race was the rabbit, who became the fourth animal in the lunar calendar due to its speed. Crossing the river did prove to be a challenge, but it was able to do so by hoping across on stones and a floating log.
Although wallabies and rabbits are not related, both animals share one distinguishing feature: They move by jumping! Wallabies, like kanagaroos and opossums, are marsupials, meaning they carry their young in a pouch. When a wallaby baby is born, they are about the size of a jellybean and will spend the first 9 months of their life in the pouch!
