18 Relaxing

Melbourne, Australia

On my walk through the park yesterday I encountered these relaxing kangaroos.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial found in southern and eastern Australia,
with a population of several million.
Because the kangaroos are grazing animals, they control the growth and spread of grasses and other foliage,
they are important for the eco system.

Laze and graze, what a life! I love this shot. I didn't know kangaroos lazed like this.

Are they that easy to photograph? They let you come that close?
That is so special.
They look pretty relaxed.

Oh this is fabulous! I love the way they lounge around! I have fond memories of seeing greys when I was there.
