- WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, Aussie Big 5
Western Grey Kangaroos
Our Western Grey kangaroos have a thick and darker coloured fur and are well-known for their friendly nature.
You can get up close to our Kangaroos at Kangaroo Walkabout. Open 10am during peak and 10.30am during off-peak.
Meet Dot!
Dot was one of the first Western Grey Kangaroos to call WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo home. When she's not hopping around making new friends, she can be found grazing in the shade or eating maize, her favourite meal.
Meet Dusk!
Dusk was hand-reared by our keepers. She is very cheeky and loves following our keepers around, especially when they have food.
Meet Nutmeg!
Her shorter (and cute) nose, along with her lighter fur are what differentiates her from our other four kangaroos. Did you know? Western Grey Kangaroos have a thicker and darker coat than some of the kangaroos you'll find in Australia.
Meet Kirby!
Kirby is the 2nd youngest of the mob. She is Julie's sister and you can recognise her by her tail, which is lighter than the other kangaroos' tail. She also happens to be the most affectionate and treats our keepers with the cutest cuddles.
Meet Julie!
Julie is the oldest member of our kangaroo mob. You can recognise her by the little white tuff of fur underneath her left ear.
Meet Frankie!
Frankie joined the WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo family in February 2022. While Frankie might be the youngest and smallest Kangaroo in our Mob, don't let that fool you! She has one of the biggest personalities. She has a slight ginger-tinge to her coat and you can find her hopping around (or laying around) Kangaroo Walkabout with all her new friends!
