Contrary to the name, this island is not hopping with kangaroos, but we did find some to hand feed and hold in a sanctuary for injured animals. There are something like 64 species of kangaroos in AUS. There is also frequently kangaroo on the menu, but we just can’t bring ourselves to order it.
Clearly, your grandpa skills are coming in handy.
I’ve held a baby wallaroo…..and recall that it had HUGE back feet and much like a rabbit, it wanted to hide it’s head in the crook of my elbow. Looks like you two had the touch with these critters!-Laura P.
