Hmmm... Thats why they are Flagship Animal for Australia....!!

They are true identity of Australia... Great southern Island nation... with striking Flora and Fauna...

When my kitty does this, I say he's being "very 'cajsh' ".

I never realized this before but, in American English, there's not really a phonetic spelling for that "g"/"j"/"sh" sound as in the first part of the word "casual" -- the "cas" part... It's like a soft "g" but with a "hum" in the throat at the same time... Strange, huh?

@ p.young713.. You can find Kangaroos or Wallabies all over Australia.. You often see them at golf clubs or in parks.. even in big cities! Early mornings or around sun set is the best time to see them!

He sure does, Christiane. Lol
Are these Kangaroos are over the place or in certain regions?

Christiane
