A mob of Kangaroos at Pinjarra

13 kangaroos in this mob.
Further down the track I did come across a much larger mob. At least 50 strong. As so often happens, walking towards them to set up the camera, one of them got spooked by me and startled, began hopping towards the cover of the bush.
Once one kangaroo is startled, then the rest of them are startled.
Within 30 seconds they were all hiding within the cover of the Aussie bush.
On the video, I thought the large kangaroo on the right was the alpha male.
Seeing the video it is obvious this one is a female with a joey in the pouch.

you can see their ears pricking up to listen to you and check how much of a threat you are.

Yes, they are very attuned to their surroundings.
Something amiss, they’re off.

They seem to be saying “it’s ok just that you-tube blogger Bretrick again. Let’s make him think we are a little spooked, but he’s no threat really” :slight_smile:

Nothing like the large mob I came across half an hour later.
As soon as they saw me walking towards them with a camcorder they were off in a flash…mob. :grinning:
