Buckshot Bear

Instantly stop eating and look up at you as in the pic below and consider the threat, if you're still they'll go back to eating. If they hear the dogs they'll take off. Unfortunately over the years and generations of them, some of them are losing their fear and they can be dangerous and nothing to mess around with as the bucks are pretty well built (these are Eastern Grey Kangaroos, smaller than the Red Kangaroo found more to the West) - Our home is on piers 3' above the ground level for flooding (I'm on a salt water estuary open to the sea with the Entrance to the ocean around 1 kilometre away and at night with their fighting we have had them jump to get away from another roo and hit our picture windows HARD, luckily one hasn't broken through yet!

Me in a thong!!! There would definitely be things flipping and flopping and not a pretty sight!!!!

No not really, they do an OK job of keeping the grass down. We've had an enormous amount of rain the last 10 or so days with around 2" - 4" a day which has caused some ponding on the lawn, when they hop through that and make loud noises it sets our dogs on bezerk mode! The roos will grunt at each other and box and kick all night.

They do a large dropping similar to a sheep and like all grass eaters a LOT! The dogs certainly enjoy them! Did you see the wild ducks in some of the vids? Sometimes there's 50 - 80 of them on the front lawn and THEY create a LOT of waste!

NEMO -VIETNAM WAR -1966 On December 4, 1966, Nemo and Airman 2nd Class Bob Thorneburg were on patrol at a cemetery near the company’s airbase in Vietnam. The two came under enemy fire: and the German Shepherd took a round to his eye, and Throneburg was shot in the shoulder after killing two Viet Cong guerillas. Undaunted, Nemo still attacked the enemy, which gave Throneburg the precious minutes he needed to call in reinforcements. After Throneburg fell unconscious, Nemo crawled on top of the soldier’s body to protect him from harm. The dog didn’t let anyone touch his fallen handler; it took a veterinarian to remove Nemo (Nemo and Throneburg later recovered from their wounds). Nemo was later given a permanent retirement kennel; he died when he was 11 years old in December 1972.
