Red kangaroos are the largest living marsupials and are well adapted to the arid interior of Australia. Females (bottom row ; the one at right with a joey in her pouch) and young males (upper left) are grayish in color; only the adult males are the rusty red that gives the species its common name. Most kangaroos, including reds, are largely nocturnal and I took most of these photos early in the morning (just after dawn), before the animals had retreated to cover (Fowlers Gap Research Station, north of Broken Hill, New South Wales). |
