FLEXING wallaby style

- Two blokes shape up to impress a lady wallaby. How could she possibly fail to be impressed by these masculine displays of twerking, throwing grass around and urinating everywhere.... A couple of joeys to finish, because why not?
These are black-striped wallabies (Notamacropus dorsalis). There are no ticks on the wallabies - it is far too late in the season. The objects stuck to the coats of the wallabies are the seeds of rough burr daisy, Calotis scabiosifolia, annoying but harmless hitchhikers on their way to new places to grow.
Wow I grow up with wallabies and even raised an orphaned Joey, I till now have never seen the territorial marking actions before. Yes I've seen challenges (fights) but spraying & spreading of the dominate males sent was a great moment to capture. Thank you so much for sharing. 🕊💙💛🐨
Hello Olive, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. This is the first time we have seen it too - I suspect it might be particular to the black-striped wallabies, but maybe not. Reminds me of quite a few human behaviours downtown on a Saturday night 😉
@@GubanaNatureRefuge the wallabies in your footage look like the ones that lived "with us".
The muscles on their arms and chests are amazing but nothing compared to the power of their legs! Thank you for sharing this glimpse of nature from your land. The joeys are adorable and I hope they grow up to rival the pair at the beginning.
Hello Bonnie, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I hope you enjoy a marvellous Easter weekend.
Australia definitely has the most amazing species
Your natural video clips are Warmley welcomed. Thank you till next time.
Hello Robert, thank you for your kind words of encouragement - please know that they make a difference. I hope you are having a marvellous day, and enjoy an awesome Easter.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge stay safe injoy the moment and thank you for your kind reply, Till next time .
Mate, i learned anything about kangaroo on your video caption, you are well knowledge about it, thanks for the information. 👍👍👍👍👍
They presumably throw their heads back, when fighting, to protect their eyes etc. Yet aren’t they then exposing the neck arteries & veins? I will just have to trust that they’ve made the right choice. Thank you for posting again.
Hello Robyn, good point. I believe the greatest danger in a properly contested fight would be the threat of being disembowelled by the opponents strong back legs, but these two fellows didn't really get much past posing, jumping around, and a bit of face slapping 😏
@@GubanaNatureRefuge I gather that it allows them to balance on their tails so the can you their back legs more (do more damage).
I've noticed over the years throwing their heads back while holding onto the opponent allows them to use their tails more, this frees up their legs to really damage their opponent.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge it set me to thinking of emus and cassowaries- we’re quite the evisceration nation 🙃
Cute!
Did those ticks ever come back like that?
Thanks for this vid 😊
here before this video reaches a million views
Hello Jorge, thank you for the vote of confidence, but this video will struggle to reach a thousand views ..... no ticks. Thank you for watching and commenting, your encouragement is appreciated.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge it is a shame more people are not interested in the natural environment and strictly protecting the small amounts we have left..
Edit: like you have 😊
Southern California here, it is known to be dry and a lot of sunshine here . The la nina cooler temperatures make it a little more easier than hot hot.. I do enjoy all your refuge animals and I dont care about ticks the nature is more my cup of tea..luv from california..
.
Yeah… plenty of TYPICAL behavior.
Where’s the kill !!!!???!!!!???? 👿👿👿😈🤘
На кенгуру много клещей. Где вороны, которые выдирают клещей?
Это не клещи. Это головки семян маргаритки Калотиса Calotis scabiosifolia
I think the tick situation depends on what time of the year it is, too?
When the wallabies are looking for water, the crows remember that they hang around, drinking, for an hour or so and they have a while to peck some off!
Did you ever get more crows vs ticks footage?
I think the heat calmed and rain gave refuge.
