This one, probably a big male, was so alert and excited he could activate his ears to do a "flip-flop":-). Very funny...

Taken in Planckendael zoo...

And I wish you a splendid photo weekend!

A kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning 'large foot'). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the Red Kangaroo, the Antilopine Kangaroo, and the Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroo of the Macropus genus. The family also includes many smaller species which include the wallabies, tree-kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons and the Quokka, some 63 living species in all. Kangaroos are endemic to the continent of Australia, while the smaller macropods are found in Australia and New Guinea.

Oh, at last you take a picture of such wonderful animal! Duck's are good, but mammals in your photos are really "human". Detail and sharp are fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
