Artist's Statement

Red kangaroo is yet another personal guide of mine, and kangaroos and wallabies in general are among my favourite animals in the animal kingdom. :)

<b>Red Kangaroo as Totem</b>

Want to read about what red kangaroo as a totem means? Go here:

Red kangaroos are the world's largest surviving marsupial, and the largest kangaroo/macropod. Red kangaroos specifically avoid living in more fertile regions (which is more commonly the domain of grey kangaroos), and are known to be able to withstand great heat and live in arid regions across mainland Australia.

Male red kangaroos can leap over 9 metres in one bound. They generally live in small groups known as 'mobs,' which have flexible grouping arrangements. They will also sometimes live quite solitary lives, or band together in greater groups when necessary.
