The Pecking Order - getting the claws out
G'day
At crack of dawn today I was taken to a paddock where the kangaroos were plentiful - and several male pairs were having boxing matches. These 2 roos were at it for over 30 minutes, with multiple rest breaks in between some serious stratch 'n kick stuff. I have captioned the images somewhat whimsically to try to mirror the activity being shown ~ though seriously, you will see why an angry male kangaroo can do a lot of damage to a person trapped by them These 2 roos were amongst around 100 animals in the paddock of maybe 500 metres x 300m and were fighting over a harem of about 2-dozen females ~ with a number of harems across the area Typical exif - Panny FZ-200; 1/1300s x F5; 24x zoom / 600mm film camera equiv; ISO-800 1- 'ere you - clear orf my patch, these sheilas are happy with me  2- c'mon you - clear orf ...  3- if ya don't clear orf i'll thump ya mate ...  4- Geez - i'll show ya wot itz like to lose ya crown jewels  As always, comments welcome Phil
