![]() Kangaroos
The western grey kangaroo
is the species found in this area. They can reach heights of 2
meters when standing. They are easily
spooked by sudden noise or movement and hop at speeds up to
60 km/h.
They unfortunately come in contact with vehicles that often kill them. By carefully removing the baby kangaroo (known as a joey) from the pouch of its dead mother, keeping it warm and quiet, it can be brought to one of the carers for rehabilitation. We then bottle feed joeys up to 6 times a day, depending on their size. There is nothing more enjoyable for them than a cuddle from a carer, helping to substitute the loss of their mother. |
