bilby commented on the word zumstein
A picnic ground within Grampians National Park, Australia. I can't think of any place where wild kangaroos will come as close to human beings.

Kangaroo Island, South Australia. I had one take a can of orange mineral water out of my hand there.

Please don't feed the animals!
Actually some kangaroos are so big and powerful it's advisable not to get too close. Besides, parma wallabies are much softer :-)

I didn't! Like I said, it just came up and took the thing. (There wasn't that much left in the can.) I didn't go after him and I didn't try to feed him.
This was at a park. The kangaroos--actually in this case a wallaby--were wild, but the kind of wild you find in squirrels and pigeons that live in cities. That is, not pets, but not that afraid either. They know humans = food.

Unfortunately the sand monitors at places like Litchfield National Park have learned the same thing. Make a noise like a sausage and they'll be all over you.

Yeah. I heard the same thing about jawas.
Fortunately I almost never make a noise like a sausage.
