Doin' the kangaroo hop

We’ve been pulling out some golden dioasmas which I’ll explain about in a separate post and now we have a much better view of the kangaroos which come near the house to graze and to drink at a water-point that we’ve put there for them.
This money Vince captured a classic pose of a kangaroo ‘on the hop’. It looks exactly like the one that appeared on our pennies for many years: when we had pennies that is.
Although this one doesn’t look particularly big from this angle, it is a buck or male. They are nearly twice the size of the does.

He looks like a big one alright! I was wondering how common they are where you live.

We sometimes have 30 or 40 in our paddock. They are very common as they are now protected. You have to get a licence to shoot them if they are destroying crops or whatever. This photo was taken some years back but in front of the house. Now we've taken out the diosmas we'll be able to watch them more easily.

@JamesHxstatic Do you mean if people start shooting them? I suppose it does. I hadn't thought about it much. They mightn't be as closely packed as these.

We have other native animals on our coins too. Perhaps I should write about them too.

I don't know, he looks kind of big to me. Then again, I don't see all that many kangaroos!

We consider ourselves very lucky to be able to see so many so often.

@ilocosboy I'm surprised at that as they are not difficult to keep in captivity.

Great picture. It really lets you see how strange they're shaped and how amazing and beautiful they are.
