PHOTOGRAPHS
The following are photos I took while visiting the Australia Zoo in January 2005. I hope that you enjoy them!
A very sedentary Red Kangaroo and myself.
This kangaroo is licking itself to dissipate heat. It was nearly 110º F when this photo was taken!
Still licking . . .
This Red Kangaroo is hiding in the shade from the sun as most Kangaroos are nocturnal and forage at night for food and water.
Maybe a dingo ate your . . . kangaroo! Besides humans, the Dingo is one of the only predators of the Red Kangaroo.
The Koala Bear is another example of a marsupial, but it has an inverted pouch while a kangaroo's pouch is right-side up.
The wombat, another type of marsupial more closely related to the koala bear.
The Australia Zoo is one which concentrates on conservation of animal habitat in Australia. For additional information and photographs go to:
