Can You Own a Kangaroo in West Virginia? What the Law Actually Says

The old Roo 🦘 in the picture is one I’ve seen a couple of times, never with his mob. I think he’s been supplanted by a younger buck. There is something wrong with him & by the odd way he turns his head I think it’s his eyesight although his hearing seems fine. He is certainly a big old fella & should be ok in the paddock, lots of good grasses for him to eat.
I love the fungi I came across as well. I’d love to learn about this stuff. Its fascinating. #RiverWalk #Kangaroo #Fungi

I was out driving through the neighbourhood this afternoon and found this #kangaroo out eating the front grass of this place.

Unusual to see one out in the suburb while the sun was still up.
