Wallaby enjoying the sun

This wallaby was out enjoying the morning sun. Just as well he did as the weather has turned yet again, and it's now back to grey clouds and rain!
Oh my what a beautiful little chap, love his colour, he looks quite startled :-)

Super cute! I love seeing this, as I'd never see one in Kansas! Fav.

I was wondering about it's shaggy look. Do they have their winter coats already?

@hermann Thanks. he wasn't startled, he was keeping an eye on me!
@junep @thresheg @fjmom Thanks for great comments and favs
@denisefuller Thanks. I'm sure he'd take a photo too to use in evidence of me in his territory!
@dollycreek Thanks. And our weather is going to deteriorate as the week continues!
@teiko Thanks for the fav. They might be nice to cuddle but you'd have to watch those hind legs! @kareenking Thanks. Might be odd to see one in Kansas!
@skipt07 Thanks Sip. We are actually
in the middle of winter here, so yes he has his winter coat on! @ladymagpie @lindacarol @elisasaeter Thanks for all your wonderful comments :)
@gigiflower Thanks Sam. He certainly was watching me and another lady. Once we started talking and took our eye
s off him, he disappeared into the bush as quick as a flash :) @pyrrhula Thanks. Yes he was a good model standing up so straight :) Thanks for fav too

Fabulous lighting to showcase his wonderful colors Great shot.

Reminds me again why I absolutely love 365.org - the many fabulous shots from all over the world that I'd never get to see but as a drawing in a book. He is so cute!! I love the way he is looking right at you.

So cute!
July 30th, 2014  
What a fun catch!!! Great shot of this adorable Wallaby!!! He appears to be posing for you!!! FAV!
July 30th, 2014  
Cool shot. He's very alert
July 30th, 2014  
Wonderful catch....nice detail. What is the difference between a Wallaby and a Kangaroo?
July 30th, 2014  
@denisedaly @hinkkd @lealady @kathiecb Thanks for wonderful comments and favs - greatly appreciated :) He was posing but at the same time very alert!

@milaniet Thanks. This is the same reason I so enjoy 365, we get to see so many different places, animals, birds, flowers etc that we otherwise would never see or hear about. Thanks :)

@eyesmile Thanks Gena- thought someone might ask! Kangaroos are much larger (height up to 2mts (7-8 ft), weight up to 90 kgs) while the wallaby is up to height-80cms (2'8") and weight 24kgs. Kangaroo's legs are also much longer and oversized - specially between knee & ankle. This is for speed in open country. And finally wallabies are brighter in colour having 2 or 3 different mixes, while the kangaroo is more uniform and muted. Hope this helps you next time you wander past one :)
