They live all over Australia, in our cool climate areas and desert plains, in tropical rainforests and around beaches. Kangaroos are herbivorous, eating a range of plants and, in some cases, fungi. Most are nocturnal. Kangaroos of all sizes have one thing in common: powerful back legs with long feet. All female kangaroos have front-opening pouches that contain four teats. This is where the ‘joey’, or young kangaroo, is raised until it can survive outside the pouch. There is a lot of controversy about how we treat this Australian icon; we use it as pet food, and skins, and as the meat is lean it’s becoming more common in tourist menus. We have a family of grey kangaroos at Rocklily with the dominant male standing 5 feet tall. We could never eat these amazing animals and take great delight in watching them live around us.
