We are ready to leave the house and do some work outside but now there is a young kangaroo having a sunbath just off the front verandah. There are three others in the garden – two does and another joey.
Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to have another coffee until they decide to leave – or I guess we could always go out the back door.

The ones here are not really used to humans and flee as soon as they see us. It is only those that have lost their fear of humans or have been mistreated or cornered that are dangerous. They actually make lovely pets if they are raised from a baby. Here is a friend with one.

Won't they be scared off as soon as you go out the door? Or all they going to attack you if you go out on the front verandah?

@JudyEv Oh okay. I thought maybe you were just afraid to go outside for fear of getting attacked or something! lol

@JudyEv Our screen saver was a closeup photo, of a baby roo. And what a precious face with long, beautiful eye lashes

@kobesbuddy Have you ever noticed the eye-lashes on a camel? They are REALLY long. I guess they help keep the sand out of their eyes.

It's amazing to us in the US to see kangaroos in your yard; but I suppose they're like deer that we see in our yards!

@LindaOHio These run away too. The only ones that would stand up to you would be males that have lost their fear of humans. They are not to be provoked. Some frequent golf courses and players go around the roos rather than get too close.

@JudyEv Are they ever dangerous? Deer just run away from humans.

I had a rabbit on my lawn today. But it did not trap me inside my house. Are the Kangaroos aggressive toward you?

Incredibly, I don't remember ever seeing a kangaroo in my life and you have a kangaroo dozing on the lawn

@LowRiderX Does it get really cold there? We don't have stoats or minks or otters - but perhaps you don't either.

That is so cute. Ocassionally, I have seen a deer taking a rest on the fringes of my yard. Taking advantage of the ample shade..is their thing sometimes.

They are quite close. Are they aggressive?
And finally did they go away?

@JudyEv That is nice. I read somewhere that sometimes road accidents do happen when Kangaroos are crossing some highways in Australia.
