I thought this kangaroo looked a bit thin. Perhaps that has something to do with the number of rabbits. Kangaroos are in suburban gardens even during the day.

I saw one in Namadgi many years ago that was circled sideways like a pig tail - roo could still move at speed. This one may have been more recent, as it looked like there were some partly healed wounds on the top of the tail - but may have been due to the deformity rather than recent injury.

Tail injuries can be spectacular, so that the tail is just a stump with a 'ball' on the end, or curved into a huge circle. Ones I have dissected seemed to have occurred while the vertebrae were still cartilaginous.
