Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus)
Observation
I observed these kangaroos at the Philadelphia Zoo in Philadelphia, PA. I noticed at least three other kangaroos in the habitat. The males have a red coat and stand as tall as 8 feet. Their hind legs are larger than the front legs and their fur is thick but soft. As I observed, it appeared that one of the kangaroos was eating something from the ground. The habitat included some grass and other weed-like plants. After a few minutes of watching I had the pleasure of seeing them hop around the habitat. These animals can be found near the small mammal house in the zoo.
