A picture of me feeding 3 hungry kangaroos at the Warrook Cattle Farm:

Hopefully the kangaroos were friendly.

Yes, these were very friendly - there were maybe a dozen on the farm, but only one was male; the rest were either females or youngsters!

I love this picture!

Oh...My!!! Are they as sweet and peaceful as they look? P.

Yes - this batch (there were maybe a dozen on the farm) are used to being fed and petted, but I wouldn't go up to a wild kangaroo and try petting it! Their fur was amazingly soft and plush, so lovely!

those are tiny 'roos.

were they youngsters, or were they wallabys?

The roos on the farm were mostly female (only one male - less fighting that way) and/or youngsters. But wallabys are *much* smaller - less than half that size. Plus, Grey Kangaroos (which these are) tend to be a bit smaller than their Red Kangaroo counterparts. I'm pretty sure these 3 were youngsters, but I can't say for sure.

That's awesome!

So cute.

And the kangaroos are quite fetching too.
