Hi

“I just know I left it in there somewhere”

A fun and nicely taken shot – thanks for the smile

All the best
Matthew

Sweet behaviour image Rod, looks like the joey should soon be lining up for a beer at the grown up bar instead of hanging out at the milk bar! Very nicely taken and presented image.

Thanks Matthew and Carol for your kind comments.Writing on the Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) I indicated that this species was our largest kangaroo this is incorrect the Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus).
The error occurred as I was researching data on the Eastern Grey Kangaroo both size and biology and had a number of web pages open. Two of those websites were:
The Koalaexpress website at http://www.koalaexpress.com.au/kangaroo%20facts.htm
Some kangaroo facts and figures
Common name Scientific name Height Weight
Eastern Grey Macropus giganteus 3 - 8ft (0.9 - 2.4m) 40 - 200 lbs (18 - 95kg)
Red kangaroo Macropus Rufus 3 - 9ft (0.9 - 2.7m) 40 - 150 lbs (18 - 70kg)
Western Grey Macropus fuliginosus 3 - 7ft (0.9 - 2.1m) 63 - 120lbs (28 - 54kg)

and

The Australian Museum Website at http://australianmuseum.net.au/Eastern-Grey-Kangaroo on the Eastern Grey Kangaroo which did not say it was the largest kangaroo

Had I gone to The Australian Museum Website on the Red Kangaroo at : http://australianmuseum.net.au/Red-Kangaroo/ it clearly states clearly states Red Kangaroo as our largest kangaroo.

Presumably the Australian Museum would be the senior authority on this matter.

My apologies for the error . The adult males of the two species are both large

Best regards
Rod

This is a very sweet shot Rod. I like the distance to the background giving good separation and a sense of depth. Having the eye of the Joey helps too. Nice soft light.

Nice behavior shot Rod -- great light too!
