Was checking through the FOG this morning at breakfast table when I saw this through the window.

No it is not a Kangaroo, it is a Wallaby.
Photo grainy as it is a wet morning. And IPad on zoom through a window.

These are very timid creatures, usually found in forrest or bush land, unlike Kanagroos which like grassland. Our nearest forrest area is 15km away so this is a rare site for us, but have noticed him around in the mornings over past month. Probably an adolescent/bachelor male who has left the mob due to the dominant male.

What's the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby?

Thanks Sparktrician for your interest in this Marsupial.

Basically size and the smaller Wallaby has a shorter more hunched back, shorter ears and is not overall as slim in proportion like the kangaroo. Then there is habitat. The following link will give you more information.

When I was in Australia playing baseball, I was out driving with my host family we saw 4 kangaroos along the side of the road, they said it was very rare to see them in the area they lived in.

Kangaroos are fascinating. I remember seeing them on TV and was impressed with how fast they can run.

Well, I learned something new today, and it's only two hours since I got out of bed.  It's going to be a good day.  Thanks for the fill-in, Untidy!

Sadly I report that this wallaby was found by a neighbour last week, killed on the side of a nearby main road.

This unfortunately is an all to common death for our wildlife particularly on country roads; they are dazzled at night by vehicle lights and freeze.
