#kangaroos — Public Fediverse posts

Fabulous 5+km walk around the river this morning. Usually I tie my jacket around my waist during my walks, but the wind had a definite *there’s snow up high* feel to it so I kept it on. Today was supposed to a be a bigger 9km walk in an area not used too often but as my friend couldn’t come & I was walking alone I thought it more prudent to walk somewhere where there was likely other walkers. Still I did enjoy being out there & I do tend to notice a lot more when I’m by myself. #RiverWalk #ThickTrunkThursday #Kangaroos

They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.

Malnourished and sick kangaroos, isolated by urban sprawl on New South Wales's Mid North Coast

"...The kangaroos were chronically malnourished because they could not find enough to eat in an area bordered by ocean, the nearby Emerald Beach settlement, and the Pacific Highway. Our theory is that ongoing development … the M1 being upgraded and an increase in suburban dwellings, that this population is isolated." >>
