Kangaroo

Description:

Western Grey Kangaroo Western grey kangaroo looks much like the Eastern grey kangaroo, and for many years was treated as subspecies. They vary in color, being anywhere from greyish-brown to chocolate brown. The muzzle is covered in fine hair. The western group is slender and greyish-brown in color, and the southern group is stockier and brown in color with bluish-grey underpants. Western grey kangaroo males are known as stinkers due to their strong, curry-like smell. Western grey kangaroos are the very vocal. The mothers communicate to the joeys with a series of clicks. Western grey kangaroos have no particular breeding season, although most joeys are born in the summer.

Habitat:

They live in woodlands, open forests, coastal heath land, open grassland, scrubland and also can be found on city outskirts and golf courses.

Notes:

I was lucky enough to manage to go so close to this species where I could touch it from its ears to tail.
