The sun was shining, the kangaroos were relaxed and it was well worth the wait when little heads started popping out of pouches left, right and centre..! Honestly it really is the most amazing thing to watch, it starts with a sort of squirmy movement in the tummy area, then a little black nose pushes through, one ear then another and all of a sudden 'pop' out comes the cutest little face ever. A lot bigger than the 'lima bean' sized newborn that climbed it's way up to the pouch, there they will be safe and warm and suckle until they are nine months old, enjoying the odd nibble on the grass when mum bends low enough for them to reach it. I hope that like this little joey, you have a safe and snug weekend.....!!

ReplyDeleteWhat cute Joey :) they are so adorable. Too bad they don't stay that small cause they would make nice pets.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how big joeys get and yet can still fit into the mother's pouch. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteBeaut bit of Australiana
ReplyDeleteThese are such great pictures. I just spent the day at the San Diego Safari Park and I just realized after seeing your photos that I didn't see any kangaroos at all. Plenty of Lorikeets but, no kangaroos. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteI am posting for the photohunt meme my photos from a trip to Oz 24 years ago.
ReplyDeleteis fortunate to see these images with your own eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations for the photos!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Dear friend, blogger for circumstances that do not depend on me the two that I have installed google translators sometimes disappear, let me know if the disruption continues, thanks and hello !!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteso sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonder! This is the closest I've ever been to a kangeroo and I love the comments you made about their maturation.
ReplyDeleteThey are so funny and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow kangeroos must long for the pouch when the day comes for them to leave it. I'm sure there is a certain soaring liberation but ah, there must also be moments of yearning for what is lost.
ReplyDeleteI don't use this word often, but this one has to be just... CUTE!
ReplyDeleteCute critter capture! I love, love your kangaroo photos, Grace! I had to show them to my daughters!
ReplyDeleteOk, you got me intrigued. What goes into a shandy?
