How2 identify a male kangaroo

There are some animals that it's difficult to tell male and females apart. Kangaroos, as you can see, are a bit easier.
Today, we visited a small nature reserve right here in Port Douglas . Lots of kangaroos, Cassowaries, birds, etc, but the stars are the koalas and salt water crocs. The latter are really huge, at more than 4m long. It's really, very much bigger and heavier than in other parts of the world. See Flos blog for photos and film of them feeding. The koalas sleep 20 out of 24h, but luckily, we see 3 awake, 2 in the trees, and one where the kids are allowed to take a very quick photo.
The kids loved it, so we spent a full 6 hours there with minimal breaks. Special mention to the staff, especially Niek, who did such a great job explaining and answering lots of questions. And no, his yellow socks are not to deter crocodiles.Lue lisää
