Roo drinking in the front yard (Read 264 times)

Gnads Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 33571 Gender:	Roo drinking in the front yard Aug 25^th, 2022 at 3:15pm Had this fella surprise me in the front yard yesterday. He wasn't frightened, but must have been thirsty wanting to drink out of the fish pond. His left ear had a chunk out of it & he looked a little thin on it. He later went over the road & was laying under trees for the rest of the day.

I've lived a few places where the roos are on the front yard and in the back yard doing what they do - mow the grass.

When I lived in Sanctuary Point JB. Chinese tourists would as where the best spot to see Kangaroos? They were surprised to learn that the roos can be seen everywhere. JB roos are quite 'road-wise' in that they've learned to wait for the cars to pass before crossing. They weren't jumpy or flighty when people were around also. Could walk past them by a few metres.

AIMLESS EXTENTION OF KNOWLEDGE HOWEVER, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK YOU REALLY MEAN BY THE TERM 'CURIOSITY', IS MERELY INEFFICIENCY. I AM DESIGNED TO AVOID INEFFICIENCY.

What sort of fish live in the pond?
