Seeing kangaroos in the wild in Australia was a special treat. We saw them in many settings - on the campus of the university in Canberra, in local parks and out in more open country - filling the niche that is filled by deer here in the States. Eastern Gray Kangaroos ( Macropus giganteus) can hop along on their powerful hind legs and do so at great speed. An eastern gray kangaroos can reach speeds of over 35 miles an hour, cover 25 feet in a single leap, and jump 6 feet high. Females have one baby at a time, which at birth is smaller than a cherry. The infant immediately climbs into its mother's pouch and does not emerge for two months. Until they reach about 10 or 11 months of age, threatened young kangaroos, called joeys, will quickly dive for the safety of mom's pouch. As they grow, joeys' heads and feet can often be seen hanging out of the pouch (see the third and fourth images). . Male kangaroos often wrestle and fight as shown in the top two pictures.
