Me too!!!!
Blame it on my eye sight
Living on a farm we saw lots and lots of roos, but I remember a couple of times in particular. When I was living in Broken Hill (in town) a few went bounding down the highway one day. Another time I was driving to Mudgee and was feeling very vague from driving for so long behind a couple of caravans. I noticed the cars behind me slow down and I thought What's up?. Just as several reds bounded across the road all around my car! Taht was freaky - in an amazing way! Thank heaven they had the nouse to miss me, coz I certainly didn't! So amazing when that sort of thing happens
As for teh American ladies - a friend of mine is a writer and she has said numerous times that the only way to get an Australian novel/short story published in America is to make sure it included at least one kangaroo scene!
That's pretty sad that you have to include kangaroos just to have your book published, all because your Australian. I suppose it's because they are fascinated in kangaroos and would love to see them in the wild.
Here is something for all of you to think about.Did you know that a kangaroo (doe) can have 3 joeys at the same time? You say well.
One just out of the pouch, one in the pouch and one in frozen animation. When there is plenty of food and water, they can keep doing this forever, but when there is not a lot of food and water they will abort the joey before giving birth. They will keep the joey that is to be out of the pouch, and the one in frozen animation.
Oh.Did you know that a kangaroo (doe) can impregnate it's self. Don't think so.
They store the sperm like in frozen animation, so that if there is no buck around when they are ready to conceive, they will impregnate themself.
Sehyang that is one of the reasons why I find Australian wildlife so fascinating.and what you've listed is just part of what I find fascinating about their biology. They can also produce different types of milk at once, to cater for the joey at foot and the one in the pouch.
Oh are'nt they a clever lot then ,
so Stormy i was just wondering, have you had an 'encounter' with a buck? lol
Di you have such a bad mind!
We get plenty of Foxes, Phesants and Badgers in our garden and fields beside the house and swans in the river I have not seen a squirrell in years saw an otter once as a kid and Dad saw a meer cat a couple of years ago very rare
Saw a wild Koala in Noosa he was sound asleep in a tree and lots of Possoms in the back yard last christmas. Oh and lots of Christmas beetles
No we only did AI techniques with farm animals. I don't think they've really done anything with AI and roos yet

Stormy,
Well I didn't know that, they say you learn something new every day.

Stormy,
I take it you work with animals. You wouldn't need to AI a roo would you.
I couldn't get back in here before answering Stormy. It has been a few days and there are still other post I can't find too, I'm not being rude by not getting back to people, sorry if I have left anyone hanging.
that would be so awesome to see, we dont have anything like that around here. i see a lot of rabbits, birds, and squirrels. and occasionally i see skunk but who wants to see a skunk?
Oh, kangaroos! It brings back memories from when I lived in Townsville. We lived on campus in little studenthouses, and on the lawn outside our house there used to be a family of a couple of wallabys grazing, especially in the evenings and early mornings. It was so fantastic to have them so close by.
