Lots from Tasmania in the last month, I know, but there was so much to photograph there. A few more before I start mixing in the rest of the world again. This was a very enjoyable afternoon for me as I was completely alone with these forester kangaroos in Narawntapu National Park. The sun had already dipped below the horizon and the sky was lighting up the clouds. I had been there for a few hours so they were quite comfortable with my presence at this point and were going about their kangaroo business of feeding, mating and in this case, boxing. This wasn’t a serious bout, but more a play fight before going back to grazing. Click on the image for a full size look — for some reason, several of my photos lately haven’t been handled very well by WordPress and are looking a bit soft unless full size.

I am used to walking our beautiful stretch of beach and watching different species of domestic dogs cavort. I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to see these creatures, as tall as they are, playing as you describe. Truly awesome!
