Matschie's Tree Kangaroo

M on the left, F on the right.
She was fighting him off yesterday.

So they are trying to breed them right? I saw them together, but the keeping let the female go off exhibit.

I saw them about two months ago making every effort to reproduce, but the keeper yesterday said lately she is not receptive. She pushed him away from the snack bowl, swatted him, stood to mock-threaten him and, when he continued to follow her she jumped at his neck to nip at him. However I am sure they will keep trying.

Yeesh, she sounds like she doesn't not like him.

Maybe Nokopo would like him better if Harrington brushed his woolly looking fur. Its always important to look your best especially if your trying to win over a good looking young lady. His fur looks so wild in comparison to her.
