Haven't you noticed Chiquita, all of world covets our wildlife. I see so many spotting of Australian flora and fauna in other countries, and I want to say, "hey, give that back" ;)

What are they doing in the States :) ???

No problem, we have a few of the Forrester Kangaroos left in Tasmania. They are a subspecies of the grey and easily the tallest. I've see a few boofy boys that were nearly two meters tall. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/3146007

Chandler, slight clarification. The Reds get much heavier, but the Greys (aka Eastern) actually grow taller.

These are red kangaroos. They normally grow larger than grays.
