Feed A Kangaroo
Ticked off in March 2008
What it is
Kangaroos are found across Australia and are often seen at dawn and dusk.
How to do it
See them in the wild at places such as Pebbly Beach or Kangaroo Island, or feed them at wildlife parks.
Top tip
Watch out for kangaroos on the roads at dusk.
My experience
The kangaroo is unique to Australia and appears on the Australian coat of arms. Surprisingly there are 55 kangaroo species spread across Australia.
Kangaroos are the only large animals to travel by hopping and breeding adult males often fight by boxing with their front paws and kicking their back legs.
Despite this they can be incredibly friendly, and primarily eat grass, so are very easy to feed – as long as you go to Australia!
