Kangaroos

Kangaroos are like giant rats with big tails which hop or bounce instead of scurrying like other rats.

They are prolific breeders and when there is a drought (as they eat vegetation), they are in danger of starvation.

They are also a major source of petfood in Australia for dogs and cats. I used to eat raw kangaroo mince, but my human stopped feeding it to me as I used to react badly to it.


Macropus rufus - source of pet food (mince), rump steak, fillets, tail (cooked over a fire is an indigenous specialty) etc

My human also used to cook kangaroo steaks. They are a very lean source of meat. But he stopped as it has a strong smell when cooking. Probably best to roast a rump or fillet. Anyway, he prefers lamb, as I do.

I had a very exciting weekend with Jake's human Dane. Now my regular ones have returned. I have more fun with other humans who stay with me, as they do not see me very often and I can train them well...
