| 1s | when people from other parts of the |
|---|---|
| 2s | world think of Australia they often |
| 5s | imagine kangaroos hopping down the |
| 8s | streets as common as squirrels or |
| 10s | pigeons in other |
| 12s | countries it's a Charming if somewhat |
| 15s | amusing image the idea of Aussie keeping |
| 19s | kangaroos as pets as if a might just be |
| 22s | another member of the family lounging on |
| 24s | the sofa or hopping around the |
| 27s | backyard let's Muse over this quirky |
| 30s | stereotype for a moment first off the |
| 34s | idea of kangaroos as household pets is |
| 36s | more myth than reality in truth |
| 40s | kangaroos are wild animals and like most |
| 43s | wild animals they belong in their |
| 45s | natural habitat they're not domesticated |
| 48s | like dogs or cats and they have their |
| 50s | own needs and behaviors that don't quite |
| 52s | fit in a typical home |
| 54s | setting that said kangaroos are indeed a |
| 58s | common sight in many parts of Australia |
| 60s | but not usually in the urban |
| 63s | streets they're more often seen in rural |
| 66s | areas Grazing In Fields bounding across |
| 69s | the Bushland or sometimes to the |
| 72s | frustration of farmers venturing into |
| 74s | crops and |
| 76s | Gardens in some Suburban areas that |
| 78s | border on their natural habitats you |
| 81s | might catch a glimpse of a kangaroo at |
| 83s | dawn or dusk but it's hardly an everyday |
| 86s | occurrence in the city |
| 88s | streets the president pres of kangaroos |
| 91s | in certain areas can sometimes lead to |
| 94s | surprising |
| 95s | encounters imagine driving down a |
| 97s | country road at dust and a kangaroo |
| 100s | suddenly bounds across your path it's a |
| 103s | reminder to drive carefully and keep an |
| 106s | eye out in kangaroo prone |
| 109s | areas these encounters while sometimes |
| 112s | startling are part of the Australian |
| 115s | experience a reminder of the wildlife |
| 117s | that shares this land with us |
| 121s | but back to the idea of kangaroos as |
| 124s | pets in Australia wildlife conservation |
| 127s | and Animal Welfare laws generally |
| 129s | prevent people from keeping native |
| 132s | animals like kangaroos as pets there are |
| 136s | wildlife sanctuaries and carers who look |
| 138s | after injured or orphaned kangaroos |
| 141s | nursing them back to health with the |
| 143s | goal of returning them to the |
| 146s | wild these caretakers form a unique bond |
| 149s | with the kangaroos |
| 151s | but it's always with the understanding |
| 153s | that these animals are and always will |
| 155s | be Wild at |
| 158s | Heart this doesn't mean that Australians |
| 161s | don't have a special affection for |
| 164s | kangaroos they're a national symbol |
| 166s | after all featured on our coat of arms |
| 168s | and various |
| 169s | emblems kangaroos are even a part of our |
| 172s | cultural identity a symbol of the unique |
| 176s | and diverse Wildlife that makes |
| 177s | Australia |
| 179s | special |
| 180s | and what about those kangaroos hopping |
| 182s | down the street well while it's not the |
| 186s | norm in some rural towns where the |
| 188s | Bushland meets civilization you might |
| 191s | indeed see kangaroos venturing into |
| 193s | urban areas it's not unlike the way deer |
| 197s | in other countries might wander into |
| 199s | Suburban spaces these sightings are a |
| 202s | reminder of the delicate balance between |
| 204s | human habitation and wildlife habitats a |
| 208s | balance that Australians are constantly |
| 212s | navigating in a way The Stereotype of |
| 215s | kangaroos as pets and as common Urban |
| 218s | dwellers is a bit like a playful |
| 220s | exaggeration of the Australian way of |
| 223s | life it speaks to the closeness |
| 225s | Australians feel to their natural |
| 227s | environment to the sense of living in a |
| 230s | land that's still wild and Untamed at |
| 233s | its |
| 235s | edges this blend of urban life and wild |
| 238s | nature is one of the things that makes |
| 240s | Australia |
| 241s | unique in few other places can you find |
| 244s | a stark contrast between the bustling |
| 247s | City and the vast open Wilderness where |
| 250s | kangaroos Run free it's a reminder of |
| 253s | the diverse and often surprising nature |
| 255s | of life in |
| 257s | Australia so while you're unlikely to |
| 261s | find a kangaroo as a pet in an |
| 262s | Australian home we'll see them hopping |
| 265s | regularly through the downtown streets |
| 268s | they remain an integral part of the |
| 270s | Australian landscape and |
| 272s | Imagination they represent the Wild |
| 275s | Heart of Australia a land where nature |
| 277s | is always just around the corner full of |
| 280s | Wonders and waiting to be |
| 283s | explored |
