[Mishmash] Kangaroo & Davids pics

[Fred Atkinson]

Linda, 

    Actually, a full grown male kangaroo is quite capable of killing you.  

    They reach out and grab you with their front paws.  Then they rear back on their tail and use their razor sharp toenails to drive them into your stomach and rip your stomach open.  You bleed to death.  Or at least, that's what one of my Australian pen pals told me.  

    Regards, 


                                                            Fred

  I was interested in that question too.  All I could find was that the laws vary from State to State and even from County to County, and that you have to have a permit in most states to have a wild animal. Nothing specific on Kangaroos, but I'm sure that they would have to have a permit to be owned by anyone.  Those permits are often only given to zoo's and other places that house animals for exhibition.  

   I found in reading that a kangaroo was captured in Oklahoma and that they considered them to be "vicious animals."  Somehow I never could put a kangaroo in the "vicious animal" category, they seem to docile in watching them on the tube and at the zoo.  I never lived close to their natural habitat though.

         Is it legal to have a kangaroo for a pet in the U.S.?  I would suspect not.

    They caught a kangaroo wandering loose in a California subdivision  today.  I 
    watched them catch it on television.  They don't know where  it came from 
    yet.  Possibly someone's pet. 

    Thank you for sharing the pictures David, I thought they were very  good.


    Linda
