My brief encounter with a male red kangaroo joey

This morning when my dad and I were leaving the house, we found this beautiful little joey feeding on one some of the plants in the front yard. It seemed pretty tame, and eventually I managed to sit close enough to pat it. Dad rang a friend who came around and said it was a young male red kangaroo. She was a carer so she took it back home with her, but not before dad took a few photos and a video. It was a really lovely surprise to start the day.
