#FotoVorschlag: Exotische #Tierwelt // Exotic #animals

Nachdem wir schon einige schräge Vögel und allerlei cooles Getier hatten, recycle ich mal dieses kleine #Känguru, weil ich das Bild einfach so mag // We've had some awesome animals already, but no #kangaroo yet, I think. So here's a #wallaby I've posted before, just because I like this portrait so much

A close-up, high-angle shot shows the head and upper body of a small wallaby against a pale, slightly textured ground. The wallaby faces the camera directly. It has soft, grey-brown fur, with lighter brown patches around its ears and shoulders, and a darker grey muzzle. Its large, pointed ears are upright and alert. The wallaby's eyes are dark and shiny, and its nose is a prominent, textured black. The overall impression is one of gentle curiosity.

Swede’s Photographs

Kangaroo Trio in the Grasslands

I saw these giant jackrabbits yesterday at the Gone Wild Safari near Pineville, Louisiana.

Just kidding—I know they’re kangaroos. I tried to identify the exact species and concluded that the two closest to me were likely Red Kangaroos (Macropus rufus), while the darker, chocolate-colored one in the back might have been an Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus).

Unfortunately, I didn’t spot any jackalopes (Lepus antilocapra) during my visit.

I don’t always snap great photos, but when I do, you’ll find them right here:

The image captures a natural scene featuring three kangaroos in a grassy landscape. The kangaroo in the foreground is standing upright, seemingly alert, with its front paws held close to its chest. It has a lighter, tan-colored coat that contrasts with the background. Behind it, another kangaroo with a reddish coat grazes on the grass, while further back, a chocolate-brown kangaroo does the same. The setting includes a lush green field scattered with small yellow flowers, adding to the serene and wild atmosphere.

"The musky rat-kangaroo (Hypsiprymnodon moschatus) weighs only 500 grams and looks a bit like a potoroo. It’s part of a lineage that extends back to before kangaroos evolved their distinctive hopping gait.
[...]
As the only living macropodoid [...] that doesn’t hop, they can provide a crucial insight into how and when this iconic form of locomotion evolved in Australia."

Animals as products

"Skin hunters nearly drove the saltwater crocodile to extinction in Australia. An estimated 300,000 animals were killed for their skins between 1945 and 1970. Saltie populations fell as low as 3,000 animals before authorities acted."

"For decades, animal derived products such as fur, feathers and leather have been prized in fashion. But consumers are increasingly less comfortable..."

The ConversationEven as the tide turned for fur, crocodile leather kept selling in high-end fashion. But for how much longer?
