Western grey kangaroos are one of the four or five largest living marsupials. They are found in a variety of habitats in the western 2/3 of Australia, ranging from arid scrublands to wet coastal forests. Western greys very closely resemble eastern grey kangaroos and only an expert can tell them apart in the field (I consulted such a person, Professor Terry Dawson, about these pictures to be sure of the identification, as the place where I took many of the images supports populations of both species). Most kangaroos, including greys, are largely nocturnal and I took most of these photos early in the morning before the animals had retreated to cover (Fowlers Gap Research Station, north of Broken Hill, New South Wales). A few were taken in southwestern Western Australia. |
