    to help a little...

    marsupials are animals with a pouch - kanagaroos, wallaby's, koala's etc

    Kangaroos can grow big especially males. They box to compete for the females, and the males defense is to hug their threat and then lean back on they tail and disembowel them with the huge toe on their hind legs. If you got one recommend a female.

    Wallaby's are timid and skittish even domesticated ones at a park and they like the shade.

    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    What the heck is that?

    Tasmanian Devil, should hear the sound they make

    and if you got a roo probably need at least a 8 ft fence, when they get going each jump is about 6metres = 18/20ft long and 6-8ft in height jumps

    there is a place about 30 minutes away that is one of the hospitals I work at, which is named Kanangra due to the massive amount of wild kanagaroos that live there. Tourists go there from Sydeny as one of the quickest places to see reall wild kangaroos that are friendly enough to feed (females) males get a bit twitchy and puff up some times similar to that video.

    my daughter patting a wild roo (with a joey in the pouch) only a few weeks ago.

    lol, use to have a great laugh at some mates expense when we would do surfing / camping trips in our late teams and 2 guys to freak out always looking out for drop bears.

    then there are bunyip's, aussie's equivalent to the creature from the black lagoon.

    yes wallaby's are nicer in nature and looks and smaller with maybe a max 3-4ft jump on them

    wombats are cool, remember once going to Steve Irwins zoo and they had one on a lead and could pat it, was called Tonka (very appropriate name - tonka digger toys), would be a unique pet but is nocturnal and likes to dig.... tunnels lol
