Want to learn all about Kangaroos and Wallabies? Join Zookeeper Naomi as she ventures into the Kangaroo Walk-through Area here at Symbio Wildlife Park to teach you all about them as she feeds and interacts with them.
This young lady did this so well! I couldn’t remember all that if i tried, let alone feed the animals while making the video. Thanks for the informative & cute video:) i am from michigan we have deer & raccoons
Normally you (Europeans) would only hear about the scariest, most deadly animals that live in Australia.. Learning about Kangaroos and Wallabies I (Dutch guy) realize that from 'Joey' to adult Kangaroo/Wallaby they are, hands down, super cute. Thanks for letting me see those beauties!
I volunteer at our local zoo for 18 yrs.. Only Zoo in Bloomington, IL. Miller Park Zoo. We have 10 Tammar Wallabies; (7 females and 3 males) We also have 2 Hill Wallaroos; 1 1/2 yr old male named Huck. He'll be 2 in mid-March. His female Bindi. She's 6yrs old, her birthday is in December. They are our breeding pair. That the area I work in, it's referred as; The Wallaby Walkabout. I feed, water and clean the Macropods yard. It's winter where I live, they been inside their shelters most of the time. When they're inside, the keeper takes care of them.
That was one of my lifelong goals, too - and finally I got a chance when I went to Perth Australia a few years ago: there's a national park there and you can feed the kangaroos and hang out with them: they were everywhere. I was amazed to see that there were a lot of white kangaroos there, too: I don't know if they were albino as their eyes were very squinted, very closed - mind you it was a searing, sunny day. I was delighted to finally get to not just to see them, but to hang out with them. Hope you get to see them! All the best.
@@thatonebandicootinyourback6914 go to South America and Africa for a challenge accepted. Or how about in the United States of America with venomous snakes like rattlesnakes, scorpions, alligators, mountain lions, grizzly bears, and so on. Or how about active shooters for other forms of life likely to kill you in one nation "under God."

Best adventure in my life was when i went to Australia and spent time out in the outback. I admire the Australian people who are very welcoming and friendly 😊 would love to go back there again maybe when everything gets back to normal..
@@aliamjon2550 I kmkw but you have to understand that the world is gone bonkers and stupid people run the country same like in the 🇺🇸 so yeah but for real Australia women are much better than the American women who are useless 😉
Thank you for taking the time to share this info but I really wanna understand the full functioning of their tail. Is their tail something more like a fifth leg? They do seem to use it as a means of balancing themselves.
Interesting fact - when kangaroos kick, they do so with both legs. They are not airborne, as their tails act like a third leg and push off the ground during their kick.
It's a beautiful country: surprisingly tropical looking - I finally got to visit the place a few years ago and even got to meet the kangaroos! People have mangoes, jack fruit and grape vines growing in their back gardens and parrots fly freely around.
I was in Northern Territory Australia for 5 month, for deployment/training. Saw a lot of dead wallabies on the road. It is also really hot and humid up northern part of Australia.
It would be a lot more obvious to tell the difference between the adult kangaroos and wallabies; what about the baby pups/joeys? Can you tell them apart from afar?
