Forester Kangaroos (Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis)


A small video showing a mob of Forester Kangaroos  (Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis) at Narawntapu National Park in Tasmania. I counted over 80 kangaroos in the Springlawn area on Monday.

The Forester is the Tasmanian subspecies of the Eastern Grey Kangaroo. (Skippy the bush kangaroo was a female Eastern Grey) Males can weigh over 60kg and when standing upright can be 2m tall. (over 6 feet) This makes them the worlds second largest marsupial after the Red Kangaroo.

    Very impressive animals. They seemed very wary and appeared to be keeping an eye on your motives in watching them. I guess man has predated them at some time in the past?

    You shot an excellent video.
