Bordertown White Kangaroos by cruiser

Bordertown White Kangaroos

Part of a mob of white kangaroos which are a genetic strain of the Western Grey.
The following information is supplied by the local Council

"In 1980 a big white kangaroo was captured on a property near the SA/New South Wales border and brought to the park. He went on to become the founding father of the white kangaroo colony that has grown to become a tourist feature.
The first white joey was born in 1984, followed by a second two years later. From there the breeding program has taken off with around 50 having been bred at the park over the years. A number have been sent to parks and reserves around the country - there are currently around 17 on show in the Bordertown Park.
As their diet is monitored, feeding by visitors is not allowed."

A Fav! It is great to see these white kangaroos. They look like gentle animals.
