They are in the same family, wallabies and kangaroos are two different species, wallabies have thicker and longer fur and can live in more areas then the kangaroo

No there are biological differences between the two, besides their size. Wallabies eat leaves and have flat teeth, while kangaroos eat grass so they have curved teeth and less pronounced crowns because they don't need to cut and grind. Their coats are different colors, wallabies have a gray coat while kangaroos are more red.
