This is Sophie. She is a red necked wallaby. We happened to be there when the keeper arrived to dress some scratch wounds on either side of her belly caused by…ahem.. the overly intense and amorous attentions of a male wallaby. The keeper brought some sweet corn and apple pieces to distract Sophie while she applied the ointment. It seems to be working well.

What a cutie! Nice shot.

Aw! Cutie Pie!
There are a couple of (tribes? herds? pods? groups? skips?!) of feral wallabies to the north of the country. I’m dead keen to get a semi-feral group going in our local woods. Wallabies rock!

Wallabies and kangaroos can be found in mobs – both feral and well-behaved. I only wish I could send the Hairy Farmer Family a starter pair. It would be worth it to see how many farm vehicles would end up in ditches as they bounced across the roads.
