Yeah, I know they can be mean but if I get one of those little trained ones....Just watch my Monkey Baby, you can feed them candy and dress em up.  There was one lady who's 6 kids aren't speaking to her anymore so she went out and got a monkey.

Julia, have you seen a baby kangaroo?  i thought it was so interesting that they stay in the sack for a long time and they were SO tiny.  I wanted one lol

Yes I have seen quite a few.  The last one I picked up was about 10 inches long.     My daughter was on her motorbike and in her wisdom!!! chased a few roos up the paddock.    The mother threw it out of the pouch into the long grass.  They then come back later to get it when the threat is over.     Because it was just on dark I was worried a fox would get it before she got back,    it was very cold so I wrapped it in my jumper,   I went home for an hour and then went back,  it was freezing and they make a little cheep cheep and he stumbled after me.    I brought him home and didn't have any formula so rang the wildlife group and we were to far out to send anyone out to get it....so the only very slim chance it had was it's mother might come back so I took it back again.    Now kangaroos are a huge very destructive problem here so let's just say I didn't tell my husband of the plight of this roo.     There isn' a happy ending I'm afraid...

how are they destructive.. as in eating crops... they don't attack people unprovoked do they?

Yes eating the crops in their hundreds at times.  No they don't attack unprovoked,  if a dog chases a roo I've been told the roo goes in the dam and when the dog follows the roo then drowns it.   (that's pretty clever) My neigbour had to shoot the roo in the dam  to save her dog...

I didn't know they swim.. wouldn't their pouch fill up with water and hold them under?

there are all kinds of you tube videos of kangaroos and yeah  some are swimming.. with the exception of the one with boxing gloves  on they all seem pretty docile.  and yeah they do swim... pretty cool

And you tease me about my knowledge of physics lol

I just shook my head when I read where you say that planes really don't want to come down..... hey think about it.. it's not like those kangaroos have a draw string to forcibly close the pouch

pam1

They don't!  It's much harder to land a plane than take off.  They are built for the air

Pam is right.

My nerves just don't like believing logic sometimes.  :P

Yes but left on their own.. they will choose to come down...but now we have gravity in the mix :)

holliberri

Yeah, but even with engine failure or computer failure, most planes can coast safely to a landing, especially with a good pilot on hand (Scully, anyone?). It's just harder for them to do that during landing and takeoff.

LaurieS

yeah Scully was an exception in my mind.. I think he pulled off what most season pilots would have had a hard time doing.....  very impressive.. he'll always be a hero
