Wallaby

Getting close enough to take a photo is the main issue. "Stranger danger". The neighbor still has them return from time to time. They are abundant where I live. It's great to watch the bigger males fight for dominance. Something quite orderly about the manner in which they engage. Locking their upper torso, heads bent back at right-angles to protect their eyes and then letting out big hind leg kicks which can be heard from a distances, knocking off tufts of fur until one submits. Then they part and order returns. One day I'll invest in a good camera.

Any chance of a current shot or has it left for wider pastures?

Can't recall the time lapse. This critter is now fully grown. Its my next door neighbor who is a registered carer of Wallabies and deserves the credit. She has cared for many as unfortunately many mothers are killed on the local roads.

Fabulous little critter. What's the time lapsed between these shots? Fully grown now?

Cute.. Please join and add it to the "Marsupial of the World" Mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8..... :)

There is also a global mission for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation that this could go into. How is the wallaby doing now? http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9974...

Aw. I made up a mission for Australian Wildlife Rescue & Rehab - I would love it if you would add him in. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1013...

Awe, what cutie. We occasionally find orphan wildlife (like this possum; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/441... ), and pass them on to licensed carers.
