A mob of Kangaroos in Suburbia

One dominant male, several breeding females with younguns

Kangaroos brought up in suburbia, although still wild creatures, are less skittish of humans.
A "Mob" of Kangaroos usually consists of several breeding females , a number of joeys, and a leading male, called a Buck.
A mob can have as few as 10 Kangaroos and as many as several hundred.
A mob will have one dominant breeding male who will sire all joeys.
The younger males rarely challenge this hierarchy.
There is no specific breeding season as females come on heat at different times during the year. Peaking in the summer.
A joey is born and will remain in the pouch for at least 8 months. The joey will become independent of it's mother after 18 months

Thanks for this interesting information.

I did not know some of this and I am glad humans have evolved a little although I know of a Joey guy that would fit in that descriptive. I never challenge him though.
