Red Kangaroo

At Sydney Wildlife World, a red kangaroo approaches a hidden feeding trough but stops to look at a nearby joey. The red kangaroo is the largest species of kangaroo at up to 5 feet long and 200 pounds in weight. Kangaroos are becoming so common in Australia that hunting of kangaroos is encouraged. The amount of car accidents caused by kangaroos is rising dramatically, and they have even begun to show up in cities and attack people from fear. Kangaroo meat is used in Australian dishes and tastes similar to beef.
