They don't ever run, always hop. As for the snake, yeah it had a deadly bite. I think if you got to the hospital before too long they could give you anti-venom and you would be okay. It lived near his woodpile and we saw it sunning itself on many occasions. The times when I had to stack wood I had to make sure I made a lot of noise before going close so if he was there he would go away. He never seemed agressive though. Claire, the baby roos will get out of the pouch and go back in. They are in there for a LONG time I think, so as they grow I guess they leave more and more freequently. Steve, your possum comments are funny :). I think you are just mad that an Aussie animal is taking over your country!

It's amazing to think they're all just there in your yard. I enjoyed the animals and your descriptions of them. It’s amazing to think they’re all just there in your yard.

Also, I like the baby roo hanging out in its mom's pouch. Do you know if the baby roos ever leave the mom's pouch while they are still growing? We have some wild animals of our own over at Jon's apartment. I found a baby kitten on the side of the road and it is going crazy. We don't know if we're going to keep her, but I hope so. Jon named her Meowser. She looks like Frisky. Miss you two! Peter is adorable. Also, I like the baby roo hanging out in its mom’s pouch.

Looks SO interesting. But, tell me more about the snake. It's really deadly and lives under the porch? Is it sort of like a rattlesnake that might live around humans out west? Or is it more deadly? I'm guessing it can't be too aggressive. The roos are amazing! I'm glad you compared them to deer. That makes it easier to get a handle on where they fit in to the ecology. How do they walk? I don't know if they hop or run or what. I love any and all pics you post of plants and animals. We had a guy speak in church on sunday who works in a ministry to Chinese students at Texas A&M and has been to China a couple times himself. Turns out he has a masters degree in plant ecology and used to work in that for a while, so we found an extra common point. Maybe we'll go looking at plants sometime.

They are more fun to watch though. Yeah, roos are all over the place at night like deer in NC. They are more fun to watch though.

I figured Beth had a part in the information. Those are great pictures. The roos and wallabies must be like deer in NC. Meaning they are EVERYWHERE at night time. haha.

I do remember all the kangaroos coming out at 5 PM. It was always fun to see so many in the wild. Bethany does know all about the animals and always tells interesting facts about them.

The exception being the photo of the black snake. I never got a photo of Nigel, so that is a photo I took of a sign at one of the parks on the island. Looks pretty real in a photograph :). Thanks to Beth for providing more animal info than I could have ever hoped to. Those were all taken right outside our door. The exception being the photo of the black snake.
