  • Nitrogen is a key part of healthy grass; without it, animals can't get the nutrition they need. Luckily for these Kangroos, they've found a place that will always have nitrogen-filled grass, thanks to some golf grass keepers.

    I live 15 mins from this place. Anglesea was the kangaroo's home and then we built homes and golf course around them..we continue to expand this town with commercial buildings forcing the roos further away. Makes me sad. Am glad they're protected at least.

      Given that kangaroos are overpopulated in Australia because humans killed off all large (and even some of the small) native predators and are limiting even the one invasive predator that can keep their numbers in balance….

      @@bkjeong4302 There weren't many native predators to begin with that preyed on kangaroos. I guess there might be the occasional croc that catches a roo but that's only in a small part of Australia (and near the water.) There used to be thylacines on the mainland but Ive no idea if they preyed on kangaroos or not. Wedge tailed eagles can supposedly bring down a big red roo and they're still around (though less numbers than before.) I'm curious about which large predators have been killed off by humans in Australia?

      Marsupial lions, megalania, etc.
      Your idea of Australian ecosystems is based on the prevalent FALSE view of it not having any large herbivores or land carnivores when that only became the case after human colonization. Every extant Australian species evolved in the context of such animals, just like animals on other continents.

      @@bkjeong4302 So you're saying that humans were responsible for the extinction of marsupial lions and megalania? I never said that Australia never had large predators and large herbivores. I was referring to contemporary times. Australia's ancient megafauna is well documented. Many people know of those extra large animals from Australia's distant past that died out long ago. By the way, there was a time when kangaroos were predators.

      @chriswatson7965 8 месяцев назад

      Hopping evolved when they were small creatures. It's a common adaptation amongst rodents for example, and offers the advantages of improved evasion of ambush predators, like snakes, more energy efficient locomotion, and the freeing up of the arms for other uses. Hopping in small animals has likely evolved many times, but not to the extreme of the kangaroos, and never into creatures as large. Likely reasons for its success in Australia over elsewhere include a nitrogen poor and harsh environment, and the lack of high speed endurance predators.
