[Mishmash] Kangaroo & Davids pics

[David Brown]

Kangaroos are not to be taken lightly.  They will attack if they feel
threatened.  They lean back on their tail and strike with their back(?)
legs.  They have a large toe in the middle of the foot that can inflict
severe wounds.

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.
