Male Red-necked Wallabies may be sequentially bisexual during their lifetimes: sexual interactions during play-fighting are most common among adolescent males, while adults are probably more heterosexually oriented.

Eastern Gray Kangaroos often associate in large groups of 40-50 animals – sometimes known as MOBS. (...) Whiptail Wallabies have a simple social organization, while Red-necked Wallabies are largely solitary (although groups of 8-30 animals may form at times.

Bennetts wallaby with joey - Macropus rufogriseus by John Turnbull Via Flickr: We were excited to see this small (maybe 1 m tall) marsupial on our walk on Bruny Island... then we noticed the second one! It noticed us to and peered around for a closer look. Cute as!

This lovely red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) wasn't shy at all! She happily had a snack while I snapped, and at times I could see her pouch wiggling with a certain special someone inside!

By Michael Le Page

The crimson necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) has been seen throughout the UK

David Chapman/Alamy

Males also sometimes mount one another, usually during play-fights in which the partners gently push, wrestle, or "box" one another with their forearms.

Zookeeping Nonsense

So I was at the zoo with my gf the other day and we were joking about all the birds/beasts we eventually want to keep, and she made a passing comment about us needing our own zoo. Completely joking of course, but me being the incorrigible nerd that I am I started to wonder if my selection of favorites might actually be viable in a smaller zoo setting. So for those zookeepers or any other keepers of animals on my list, your opinions on it would be most appreciated. Keep in mind, this list isn’t all of my favorite animals or even all the animals I want to keep, but those I would feel relatively confident in providing adequate care for (with help) and that would do well in captivity. I do not actually intend on having a zoo, I just want to see your thoughts.
