Our
Animals
Red kangaroos are the largest of the marsupial family and indigenous to Australia. They live in groups called a “mob”. When hand-raised by a loving professional caretaker, kangaroos readily accept humans, dogs and other animals as fellow “mob” members and feel right at home. At shows, Boomer and Boe will happily accept a salty treat of crackers or potato chips, which also helps to regulate their mineral levels. If we were to describe Boomer and Boe, “big babies” would suffice.
