Andy Yip :: Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus)

Although the males of this species are usually brick-red and the smaller females blue-grey, colour varies with locality. The largest of all marsupials, they are semi-nomadic and graze on open plains over most of central Australia. A mob of up to 300 may gather to feed on fresh grasses and shrubs, usually between dusk and dawn.

Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial in the world, and their babies are called Joeys. They have the ability to travel up to 60km/h, and jump over 9 metres in a single hop. Males will kickbox each other for dominance, and females can be continuously pregnant for 20 years.
