Ms Rixon said she wanted to share the photo of the male mourning his mate to show kangaroos’ ability to feel pain and compassion.
A male kangaroo grieves over his mate, killed by a vehicle north of Yarra Glen on Wednesday, July 8. Picture: Pam RixonAn estimated 500 million animals were killed in Australia’s devastating bushfire season. Ecologists from the University of Sydney estimated around half a billion mammals, birds and reptiles may have been lost since September last year.
Harrowing scenes of kangaroos fleeing walls of fire, charred bodies of koalas and cockatoos falling dead out of trees horrified the world as our unprecedented bushfire season was broadcast globally. Koalas have been among the hardest hit of Australia’s native animals because they are slow moving and only eat leaves from the eucalyptus tree, which are filled with oil, making them highly flammable.For more fire updates:
So sad
HumanHeadline Sad. Sad. Sad.
Very sad.
Had a joey as a pet when our kangaroo shooting neighbours shot its mother by mistake and it hopped over to our place. Amazing animal, would come to you when called and just loved to be next to you. Was 40 years ago but still miss that little guy.
Pests !
Oh FFS 🤦🏼♂️
y’all cry over this but go home and eat an 8 ounce steak. Can’t see the hypocrisy yet?
Never seen a kanga with a face like a kicked-out MasterChef contestant.

HumanHeadline There is another possible take on this.
HumanHeadline omg that face 😢
Or looking to mate with it, after all it's what they do to dying females, and they're polygamous...next!🙄
😢💔😢💔😢
living in a place where there are a lot of kangaroos around i can assure you it would not care, the males are extremely aggressive towards the females when they mate and sometimes kill them, so most likely it will move on rather quickly....such a rubbish article
😭💔
Tragedy porn, a bestseller.

Sad truth behind Archie’s christening photoOf all the royal engagements a person could be invited to, a christening must be by far the dullest. There seems to be a lot of very cordial standing around with a certain forced solemnity and the possibility of getting a glass of champagne at the end of it all seems minimal. (Perhaps things might have been different if Princess Margaret was still alive …) Give it up Because thinks it is really
