Kangaroo's everywhere [I Love Kangaroos]

I was out running in the national park near where i live this afternoon and i had a "Jurassic Park Moment" where a large group of about 50 kangaroos came out of the trees to the right of the track to cross it right where i was standing. So i just stood still and they all went around me, and i fumbled on my phone to try and get a video of it, but the best i got was this photo. It's spring time here so lots of baby kangaroos too.

Wow!! That's so wild an experience man ....馃槏

So they don't harm people?

@Vivaci Mostly they just leave you alone if you aren't a threat. There's been cases where one has attacked someone, but usually the person has tried to approach their baby etc.
@SW-User That's natural...I'm glad that person got what he asked for. 馃槄

And what about ostriches? Do they attack or follow us around?
SW-User
@Vivaci Mostly when people get attacked by something here they've wandered into it's territory either intentionally or accidentally.

I actually don't know anything about ostriches but we have emu's here, they're like an Australian version 馃槀 I don't like those because they are as tall as me and they always seem to peck me when i get close. My brother has two as pets and says they're loveable 馃槵
@SW-User Hahaha! Your bro seems like a nutcase...all brothers are nutcases. 馃槢馃槅

@Vivaci He's a great guy but he has turned his house into a wild life sanctuary. He even has this baby kangaroo and her name is Trouble.. and she lives inside. She's called trouble because when she hops around inside things seem to break 馃槀

@SW-User That's sooooo awesome and adorable...馃グ馃ぉ Oh yeah, you've shown me Trouble once. She's the cutest....but where are the Emus? 馃槼
SW-User
@Vivaci I found them... this is the last time i was out at his place. They're kinda big right 馃槼

@Vivaci Emus are darlings 馃榾
@SW-User They're like ostriches, methinks...馃き
@SW-User Really? I've only seen them in a zoo, Tao...馃槏

@SW-User My brother likes emu's but they always chase me and peck me 馃槯
SW-User
@Vivaci I wonder if ostriches peck at you 馃
@SW-User [quote]My brother likes emu's but they always chase me and peck me[/quote]

馃槨 BAD EMU!

I think Ostriches are worse... remember that Indiana Jones movie? 馃槫馃ぃ
SW-User
