platypus Posted August 14, 2014 Share #1  Posted August 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) This morning I found an extremely large male kangaroo feeding peacefully in the backyard... which is slightly unusual. It seemed a bit overconfident of him to come so close to the house, though all the kangaroo mobs are feeding closer to human habitation as winter progresses and green grass becomes scarcer, also grumpy old male kangaroos such as this are solitary by nature, so it's not unusual to see them hanging out away from the main mob of females and joeys.  When I went out with the camera, he gave me no more than a casual glance and went back to munching, reasonable enough as he was certainly more than twice my size!

pauledell Posted August 14, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted August 14, 2014 Dee, Â A great shot. When do these animals cease being curious bystanders and become a problem? Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

platypus Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share #4 Â Posted August 15, 2014 Paul, male kangaroos of the dimensions of this fellow can be quite dangerous if backed into a corner by either human beings or by dogs. Though they are not naturally aggressive they will turn and fight if they must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
