Kangaroo's

Australians love their kangaroos, especially cooked rare with a berry sauce. It's like their deer/beef/eagle all warped into one. It's their deer because they enjoy jumping out in front of moving vehicles. They are their beef because they enjoy eating them. And akin to an eagle as the Australian national animal.
Over the long weekend I had lots and lots of Kangaroo encounters as such. Went for a hike, saw some kangaroos, went on a weekend trip and visited an animal park where we were able to feed Kangaroos. Then on tuesday when Matt and I were brewing beer we bbq'd a Roo roast. Lots and lots of Roo.  In all the roo discussions I was referred by Alison to Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. A australian children's show from the 70's where skippy the roo helped solve crime. most definitely youtube Skippy the Kangaroo, its well worth the entertainment.
Kangaroo's are really pretty cool animals, they have some of the most efficient locomotion ever, have incredible pregnancy traits, use their tail to stand on, and i mean come on, its so cool when they just hop away. I figured the last blog was increasingly long, so this blog is going to be a little bit about kangaroo's, and more about the sweet pictures of the increasing interactions with kangaroo's that i've encountered
