Hmmm... Thats why they are Flagship Animal for Australia....!! They remind when name of country Australia taken...!! They are true identity of Australia... Great southern Island nation... with striking Flora and Fauna...
Christiane

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?

Christiane

Christiane

@ 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!
p.young713
He sure does, Christiane. Lol Are these Kangaroos are over the place or in certain regions?
Christiane
He was just soaking up the sun.. I have seen a lot of Big Reds, but never one that is behaving like this..
