Bennett’s kangaroo was born recently In Szeged Wildlife Park. One of the two pocket cubs still spends most of his time in the safety of his mother’s bag, but the other little kangaroo really likes to show himself off to visitors.
Vadaspark also reports in its statement that the Bennett kangaroo is the most common marsupial in European zoos, as it tolerates the cold months well and is less aggressive than its giant relatives. Inhabitants of southeastern and eastern Australia and Tasmania, but also introduced to Western Europe. They also live in the wild in England, France, and Germany, but in Hungary, there are also occasional reports of feral individuals who escaped from private owners.
They have been living and breeding in the Szeged Zoo for decades. After about a month of pregnancy, the females give birth to their babies, who, for example, little things weighing a few grams, have perhaps the most adventurous journey of their lives as they climb into the pouch, where they continue to develop for another 8. 9 months. Females remain close to their mothers even when they are sexually mature, but males migrate and, if necessary, fight with each other for the opportunity to mate. Kangaroo style, with boxing and some footwork.
