Kangaroos Take Over Australian Golf Course | How Nature Works | BBC Earth

Nitrogen is a key part of healthy grass; without it, animals can't get the nutrition they need. Luckily for these Kangroos, they've found a place that will always have nitrogen-filled grass, thanks to some golf grass keepers.

I live 15 mins from this place. Anglesea was the kangaroo's home and then we built homes and golf course around them..we continue to expand this town with commercial buildings forcing the roos further away. Makes me sad. Am glad they're protected at least.

Super cute kangaroos and what a nice coexistence between humans and wildlife.

[@bkjeong4302]

Given that kangaroos are overpopulated in Australia because humans killed off all large (and even some of the small) native predators and are limiting even the one invasive predator that can keep their numbers in balance….

[@Wild_Wonders_animals]

Nature's takeover! These kangaroos hopping across the golf course are a fantastic reminder of Australia's unique and diverse wildlife. It's like a 'roo-some interruption in the middle of a game. The beauty of coexisting with nature, where fairways and marsupials merge. 🦘⛳🌿

I wonder if they could take out a coyote....

[@asktheanimals]

@LindaC616 , a single coyote, probably. If it's a pack, they'd have to outrun like they do with the Aussie equivalent, dingos.

Probably benefit more species than that, if they weren't golf course they'd be housing development or shopping malls so no benefit for any animals with them.Golf courses in the southern united states are infested with Alligators but if the golf courses were concreted over for a housing development and had no ponds I'd imagine there'd be no alligators there.

How can Pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides be good for them?

I would hope that since they are protected in that area, people would know not to use those toxic chemical. It may be a different story if there are too many kangaroos in the future.

[@andrewroberts6275]

I like to think T Rex got around like these guys.

[@morganplisken7271]

I just can’t figure out why kangaroo evolved to have those huge rear legs. My guess is the dingoes were their primary predators.

[@somerandomnerdthatsdoesnot6250]

Dingoes only arrived about 100 years ago which is not long enough to evolve that

[@chriswatson7965]

Hopping evolved when they were small creatures. It's a common adaptation amongst rodents for example, and offers the advantages of improved evasion of ambush predators, like snakes, more energy efficient locomotion, and the freeing up of the arms for other uses. Hopping in small animals has likely evolved many times, but not to the extreme of the kangaroos, and never into creatures as large. Likely reasons for its success in Australia over elsewhere include a nitrogen poor and harsh environment, and the lack of high speed endurance predators.

If you hit the ball into a kangaroo's pouch, does it count as a hole in one?

[@acarter9277]

Can't the golf course put up a fence to keep them out?

[@HansDunkelberg1]

The fence would have to be over 10 feet high. That's the height a kangaroo can jump.

[@danw6308]

Honestly the fencing protects them more than caging them. Not sure about this particular course but most I've played at here in Perth are full of kangaroos and they would never survive if they roamed outside the fence.

[@HansDunkelberg1]

@@danw6308 How high are those fences, and how do you know that kangaroos thus caged would not survive outside?

It actually is true in most golf courses in AU.. they would never survive outside the confines.

[@webtoedman]

Golf club membership tends to be rich and locally influential, so the course is unlikely to be sold off for development, and the 'Roos have a permanent home..
