They all were. :3

That particular place and day.... maybe 25. Roos were everywhere around me! :3

Save your money. Totally worth a trip Down Under!

When I first saw this my eyes Bugged!! Roos can get Nasty!! I'm just glad you still have a face!

Cute shot by the way!

Nah, they're okay. I always watched their behaviour for a while before getting really close to them. One was dangerous that day: half of its face was swollen. Poor thing. When I approached him (her? I can't remember) it made a very angry grunt at me. I backed off right away. At another zoo, they were a bit too eager to eat and I was afraid of getting scratched so I left them alone. But most were nice. I even lied down and let them eat the food off of me! One climbed totally on me! Another one chewed on my moustache! :3

Poor thing indeed!

I know that they can be friendly, I just also know about the not so friendly ones...

The trick is to avoid being too vertical near them. It's an attacking position for them. See the video I uploaded:

Poor little kid got scared... I'm a bit angry at the idiots who laughed at that... Take a look at the comments; I went somewhat medieval on this moron. I'm not Australian, but I'm an animal nut who's done her research and I'm not one of those idiots that think every member of a species is friendly just because I've seen a tame one being handled by an expert. Probably one of the most dangerous animals under a hundred pounds that you could mess with is a wild mother hog, even in captivity they can be nasty.

What I've learned about roos is how very differently they behave from one petting zoo to another. Some were scared easily, other were very friendly. I went back to the same zoo two weeks after my 1st visit and a different keeper was around. The same mob of roos were behaving differently! It seems that their environment and upbringing plays a big role in their behavior.

wow, didn't know it was That fickle!

Cool

Omg cute overload!!!

i herd kangaroos can disembowel other animals. C:

so cute!!!!!!

AWWWW.... =D

That is just the cutest thing!

Thats cool Aldi

It's always fascinating (Captain ) to meet your ancestors!

Ha ha ha ha. Cute.

What does roobreath smell like, btw? :P

I never really smelled their breath, but their fur smells good!

Can't begin to imagine.

I admit that is a beep-able snout in that photo. :3

In some rare instances, I have kissed roos on the nose!

Going...insane with...jealousy....

ALSO going insane with jealousy! *whine*

o hai there roo :3

There was better than kissing roos: hugging roos! THAT'S hard to achieve! They don't like being hugged. I managed only a few times, from behind (aside from stretching their necks to smell you, they hate frontal body proximity).

Hugging a roo, that was pure heaven. Murrrrrr.

They are funny little things ^-^
