Hop Skip and a Jump

So you want kangaroos, do you? Well, we have plenty of kangaroo moments caught on film for your viewing pleasure! Smart people like me feed only the smaller cute ones. They must be the moms and young 'uns. Up close, these little ones are like pretty deer-rabbits creatures with their big brown eyes.







Damo likes to live dangerously so at the wildlife park he decided to sit down (first mistake) and feed the big males (second mistake). Here he is in various stages of getting mobbed by a mob of 'roos.







Lastly, we have Kanga and Roo. The joey (almost half the size of his mom) has just jumped into the pouch. How she fits all of him in there, we just don't know. It must be stuffy but we didn't see any joeys peek out--all you see are feet and maybe a tail. We think it's because the milk is way down in the pockets so once they dive in head first, they stay that way to take advantage of the open bar.
