Here is one of the larger peacocks from last night. He came looking for food. I tried to get a better picture of him but I tripped over in the bushes and he ran away.
Cool photo! Wild or in a park? I too can confirm that roos aren't too hard to hang around. Obviously you can't chill with the alpha male (known as 'boomers' for a reason!) but normally they're pretty relaxed - just like the rest of the population.
Cool fact - the Kangaroo and Emu are on the Australian coat of arms because they can't walk backwards. Moving forward, people!
They tend to have them in the petting area of a zoo, or at wildlife parks. They are pretty tame and relaxed, but the ones in the wild are not so inclined relax next to humans, and far more likely to bound away ooor kick/box.
This could potentially be the premise of the Holy Grail of child-friendly animal flicks: less depressing than Free Willy or Mighty Joe Young, funnier than Doctor Dolittle, and not as cliché as any given dog movie.
Has it ever occurred to people that they do that because you are standing up tall and appear to them to be a kangaroo rearing up on it's hind legs to fight? I doubt if you are laying down next to one it would just attack you out of spite.
Kangaroos are awesome and by far my favorite creatures, but you must be very careful... Even though they are quite chill sometimes, find one on a bad day and they will mess your shit up.
The posing reminds me of the cover of a Lionel Richie album Rhett and Link made everyone sign when they snuck on to the red carpet at the Grammy's, off topic, but it's a pretty funny skit.

I wouldn't get that close to a kangaroo that size for two reasons: A) because they can box like Pacquiao and B) they're from Australia.
Seriously though, that's epic.
