Red Kangaroo


Red Kangaroo Mother with Joey out of the Pouch

Gotta finish packing for our trip to where these guys live. . . so . . . I'll just add a few interesting facts about Red Kangaroos.  .  .

They are the largest marsupial livng today.  The males are the ones with the reddish fur.   The females can be caring for an adolescent who is out of the pouch, while also nursing a baby joey IN the pouch, while carrying a fertilized embryo elsewhere.  Red Kangaroos can hop along at 44 miles per hour.  That is like 70 kph.
