My very clever brother has written some more music to his videos of Kangaroos Boxing in the early morning, taken at a nearby park and blogged on Perth Daily Photo.
Western Australia has preserved ‘green belts’ so kangaroos (and other fauna) can roam from one feeding ground to another.
Those areas usually include a lake, providing natural habitats for our native flora and fauna – particularly in my region near Yellagonga Regional Park. (Also the subject of a Picture Book I’m working on.)
We’re used to seeing kangaroos around but know not to go near as they are deceptively cute and can be very dangerous.
Those strong back legs are used to rip open the stomach of their opponent while they rest on that ‘third leg’ – their extremely strong tail!
Driving from the city, just before turning off the freeway for home at sunset, we often see a ‘mob’ feeding near the access tracks on the left.
While studying at University I sometimes attended lectures at our local ECU campus here in Joondalup which also was regularly visited by a local ‘mob’.
