Mother and Joey enjoying breakfast. #MacropodMonday #MacropodsOfMastodon Happy Monday everyone!

As Monday drifts to a close, I'd like to introduce you to the latest #MacropodMonday entrant.

It has no name and is gender fluid (in other words it could be either).

What you are seeing is a macropod, hanging from the pouch of a macropod.

Macropod means "big foot" which it certainly has. It's around 1/3rd of the body length. When fully grown and at speed it will cover 20 feet in one hop.

Mother is Winter and the joey is around 5 months old. It has no fur yet but that is starting and the joey is what we call a "velvet", and will be called so, until the fur starts to cover it over the next month.

Good morning Fediverse from this beautiful little Macropus Robustus Erubescens (euro), who still has no name.

She is becoming rare due to their #slaughter by #Australian #farmers who claim they compete for grass lands with their bred for slaughter animals which are frequently on feed lots and never see grass except in the distance as they stand in their own shit up to their knees.

#macropodmonday is a celebration of our disappearing macropods. She is helping me raise money to keep her and 24 others fed and healthy.

Please if you can assist with our #gofundme any donation of $500 will have her named by you.

#MacropodMonday the little fella has left the safety of mum’s pouch.

Good Monday Morning fellow Tooters! It’s #MacropodMonday too with the return of our favourite female and joey. Have a great day and don’t let the dingoes get to you.

Hello fellow tooters. Bit late today but hope you all have a wonderful #MacropodMonday. Pleased to see our favourite female wallaby has a little nose peeking out of her pouch getting a view of its new world. #MacropodsOfMastodon

#MacropodMonday morning tooters. Lots of dingo howling yesterday so pleased to see she is still with us. Have a great day. Always keep an eye out for predators. They’re everywhere!

Good morning tooters! A little misty here. Some nice rain last week so mowing is on the cards. #MacropodsOfMastodon #MacropodMonday
