Took a while, but I got the little bugga! Not a Kangaroo, but a Wallaby.Related content

Most of them can just be loved for their cuteness. Β Some of the bigger species out west need their numbers managed - mostly to stop them eating themselves out of house and home and then suffering an ugly death in the dryer parts. Β Australians sometimes get a bad name for doing that, but if you've ever seen one starved, it give you a new appreciation of how carefully they need to be managed.Β

Aw I luv them no matter wht and I dont want them starving! Im also creating a movie about a wallaby....hehe its like how he ends up in the outback after being separated by his mom and siblings and meets a wombat named bonzer whos rough around the edges, a not too bright in the head dingo named dawa and koda a koala who may look cuddly but isnt and luvs to sleep and lounge around in trees..hehe

I suspect, like most of our critters, they probably have a few names.

Stupid question from oversea. What's the difference between a Wallaby and a Kangaroo?
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL. Not stupid at all. They look fairly much the same and are part of the same family. Wallabies are smaller (and for some reason tend to be a bit cuter.) I think Kangaroos tend to inhabit open plains where wallabies do hills and rocky areas.

I understand.
Thanks for that short biological lesson
Hmm.. But now there is one last question. So you're from fascinating Australia - where many fascinating creatures live. Why the heck did you choose a duck for your avatar and username, when you don't even have a single picture of a duck in your gallery...

LOL. Here's the explanation for the name. I was an online gamer. I played a game called Alien Vs Predator II and was in a clan called DMW (Dead Men Walking). They were a cool group, and even though most we very good, we made fun of ourselves because you're never quite good enuf. So, I started calling myself 2Stupid2Duck - making fun of how many times I got myself killed. It was also making fun of the people with the uber kewl names like Death4U.

ROFL. So your username is just a joke-making nickname for a ultra cool game.
Now I understand..

Hey thats a great shot! Cute, and there game :S almost hit one of them the other night, thanks goodness it wasn't stopping

I don't think people oveseas understand what a pain in the @rse they can really be, and how dangerous if you hit one at 120 Kph. They're much nicer just being stalked through the bush by fat photographers.

Hahaa yeah thats it. I was lucky that time cus it was in full flight, and just a wallaby.. Had two massive red bucks jump infront of me once there was the hysterical scream, and dads head almost went into the dash but we came out OK Few...

Mate - I got about 200 shots like this. LOL. Just a case of patience (which suits my lazy personality perfectly!)

Patience and a quick eye of perfection.

I agree with Beau. She seems to be either grinning at you or giving you a very coy look. Great photo though. How on earth did you get her to stand so still
π: 0 β©: 1
She wasn't standing too still. I used a very fast shutter speed to try to minimise the blur.

Prettyface!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are my favourite wallabys!

Definately much cuter than kangaroos.

LOL. No chance sport.

There's a distracting twig sticking out in the top left hand corner but other than that I think this is a stunning photo. I love the depth of field you did with this.

Thanks mate. LOL. I didn't even notice that damn stick!

Don't you just hate it when that happens..

Wonderful your Duckliness!!!! Yes those little buggers are fast! I believe this one was showing off... just perfect ~G~

They were a bit skittish. Later on, I was just sitting there with the camera ready - waiting in my patient duckie when when a big red one come right up to me and sniffed my face. Scared the crap out of me. I didn't know what to do, so I just stayed still. He sniffed, checked me out and then hopped away. Matty was killing himself laughing.

did he laugh as hard as the time he had to explain the crump joke to me!!!!!!!!!!!

She's grinning at you, duck.
Full frontal nude at last! - I've been waiting!
Right lens, right distance, right aperture, right DOF, perfect framing, still a little movement? Who cares... great shot!

Very cute shot, Ducky. It's a little bright and I see some chromatic aberration there?
Still, it's a cool shot

Mmm.. you're right. On that paw. Bugger.

It ain't that bad. I'm the only one that noticed it, right?

Would you believe that wallabies wear purple michael jackson gloves?
