Who do I have to kiss?

...to get a meal around here!!
Somewhat unusually these 'wild' kangaroos are so hungry since the fires that they are proactively approaching us for attention. This is Wylie 2 smooching this Eastern Grey 'roo. cute but sad too.
I'll take them some carrots tonight.

It is a very sad situation ... I saw they were doing to food drops for the animals but I guess there is only so much they can do ... I am just watching the fantastic program ... The magical land of oz .. really enjoying it .. You have some amazing animals...

[Dianne]

Those poor little creatures - they will now be reliant on humans to sustain them until the next lot of rain and new growth. It's a great image though. Fav

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, those poor kangaroos. How sweet and sad at the same time.

[Graham Harcombe]

Crackin' shot, plus - knowing the background information gives it a powerful pathos.

[Diana]

Beautiful shot that tells a story, mostly very sad.

[Ethel]

Great image, but sad time in many parts of Oz. Our bases are Melbourne and Mallacoota, so it is a bit close for comfort to see the suffering from the fires.

[Wylie]

@ethelperry thanks Ethel. I hope you weren’t in Mallacoota during the fires! Terrible time.

[Ethel]

No, we weren’t, but a granddaughter and partner were there. They left town while they could. We used to live there for about 9 months each year, so became locals really. Our house survived unscathed. I now know what survivor guilt is.

[Wylie]

@ethelperry glad to hear the house and family are ok. Don’t feel guilty, just make your thoughts known to those rotten pollies!

[Ethel]

Don’t start me.

[Lou Ann]

A wonderful image. Sad to read your narrative.

[Marilyn G M]

Thank you for your narrative...a great photo that will be important for history

[Krista Marson]

sad times....

[Merrelyn]

Great capture, desperate times for so many animals.

[gloria jones]

Great capture :)

[Lynda McG]

Awww, shows how desperate they are - will make it easy to help them though!

[Desi]

Aaaw shame. So sad that there isn't enough food left for the surviving animals

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Quite the calamity, and unfortunately the effects will continue for a long time.

[Rob Z]

The situation with the loss and impact on wildlife is catastrophic - houses can be rebuilt but the millions of animals killed during all of this are gone forever.........

[haskar]

Very sad and poignant. But it also has that ray of hope. These animals did not run away but came to ask for help. Fav.

[Kathy]

A heartrending sight when one knows the background story. A lovely photo and memory.

[Sharon]

Too sad!!!

[Taffy]

This is heartbreaking, but it is such a sweet scene. It also is important to document such a tragic time in your country.

[Elizabeth]

Sweet kiss but sad too.

[Jacquie]

Heartbreaking pictures

[Vesna]

So sad.
