This is too weird. I am getting some but not all of the messages. For example I did not get Darryl's message but I got the ones on either side of it. It has to be gmail and thunderbird 'deciding' which to display to me. Sigh. How about ALL OF THEM? John W.

Females are considerably smaller, with a head-and-body length of 85-105 cm (33-41 in) and tail length of 65-85 cm (26-33 in).[4][5] Females can weigh from 18 to 40 kg (40 to 88 lb), while males typically weigh around twice as much at 55 to 85 kg (120 to 190 lb).[5][6] The average red kangaroo stands approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall to the top of the head in upright posture.[7] Large mature males can stand more than 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tall, with the largest confirmed one having been around 2.1 m (6.9 ft) tall and weighed 91 kg (200 lb).[6] Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some reportedly reaching a weight of approximately 150 kg (330 lb). > > But a lot of them are smaller than that.

It was standing parallel with and against a concrete barrier in the center of the interstate highway. I couldn't see it until it turned its head. Talk about silly - instead of letting me go by it decided to run across in front of me. It made it exactly > 4 feet and its head met my headlight. Very little damage. But if it had made it 4 more feet it would've been $1000s of dollars' worth of damage. Didn't matter to the deer. It was dead either way. > > How big do kangaroos get?

I know how much damage a Kangaroo can do...
