“A boy feels fine, it gets used to the new place. It will live with three females of the same species in the special enclosure. In spring, the visitors of Feldman Ecopark will be able to see it. Meanwhile, the animal is in quarantine under the supervision of veterinarians, it undergoes all the necessary adaptive procedures,” Feldman Ecopark’s deputy director of zootechnics Valeriia Ivashchenko told. “This kangaroo is very active and playful. It likes apples, pumpkin, carrot and bananas. Its diet also includes various grain mixtures. These animals have a distinctive mind and sagacity; they are easy to get in touch with people. In Ecopark, the young naturalists work with them.”
