She is something else.

She is something else.

Yes they absolutely do talk while they're eating and it's so stinking cute. I got prickled today when EmmyLou turned to take some food from my hand and one of her quills popped me in the finger. No big deal because it wasn't done with force just accidentally.

With this particular type of porcupine it is incredibly easy to get spike. And those prickles hurt! I've seen videos of people wearing gloves when they play with their new world porcupines such as the American and the prehensile.

He is my friend the big brute that he is.

Probably not catnip not sure though about that. They love their almonds, kangaroo pellets, greens, and other healthy foods.

It is cute how kangaroos greet us. A tip of the nose up in the air says "Hello how are you and so glad you came to visit with that treat you are hiding"!!

Lol😂

He is such a funny boy. Every time I watch this I laugh out loud no matter where I'm at. It's such a funny thing to see a big unaltered breeder male laying on his back being so relaxed with people walking around him and touching him everywhere. He really is a good boy😂

We have eight spoiled mobsters that's for sure!

❤ even though for our size of property eight is enough, if I had 100 acres...oh my!!

might be a shredded tick or something, he seems to enjoy it

It's his scent gland that is red like that. He is not bleeding😂

@@kwood8766What’s so funny?? Ok, in doing some research I agree it’s not blood BUT neither is the gland itself red! The male Red Kangaroo, especially dominant ones, have a gland on their chest that secretes a red, powdery strong-smelling substance. The primary purpose of this secretion is related to marking territory and signaling dominance to other kangaroos. The red coloration and strong odor help convey the kangaroo's status and deter rivals. The substance is most noticeable when the kangaroo sweats or gets wet and this mixes with the secretion. The woman vigorously scratching and rubbing where the gland is located is either stimulating the gland to produce or release the substance in the gland …that she then rubs and spreads around the neck and head. After learning this, the act this woman is doing seems even more disturbing than when I thought she was making it bleed!!! It’s invasive and lacks respect for the animal!

On Kangaroo males the redness on his chest is the testosterone hormone males excrete. No bleeding on this big boy. The red just tells you that he is not a neutered male kangaroo. Feel free to do research because it is actually quite fascinating. The females actually excrete a similar hormone inside their pouch when carrying a Joey. This red hormone covers the Joey and protects it from bacteria. Amazing and precious animals.

@@larryohh6974 absolutely not! Unaltered male Kangaroos excrete a testosterone hormone on their neck. This is what they rub on the females, the ground and the trees to mark their territories. I'm so used to seeing this that it never occurred to me people would actually think there was something wrong!

He does not necessarily roll around in a ball, but will snap into a tight ball if he startled. there are 20 different types of armadillos and this one the three bandit armadillo is the only one that actually curls up into a puzzle type ball.
