Meet the Kangaroos
The Kangaroo is a marsupial which belongs to the family of macropodidae. There are four species of them, the antelope kangaroo, the red kangaroo, the western gray kangaroo, and the eastern gray kangaroo.
They are native to Australia. It is estimated that there are about 34 millions Kangaroos living within the harvest areas of Australia
Their main characteristics are their muscular tails, strong legs, large feet and long pointed ears. It worths mentioning that females have pouches that contain mammary glands where their youngs live until is time to emerge.
Besides our ordinary, australian kangaroos, here you will have the chance to meet our extremely rare white kangaroos. They belong to the Bennett's wallabies species and have a rare genetic mutation that gives them their white fur. Wallabies are generally solitary animals but will often be seen in groups. In Farma of Rhodes you will have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see our 4 white kangaroos and observe their unique habits and personalities from close!
Meet up with the Kangaroos!
More about lemurs
Lemurs are very cute, humanlike and very charismatic. Are a species of primate known as ‘Prosimians’ and even if are not closely related like chimpanzees and other apes they are still family. In the wild, lemurs exist only at Madagascar where they face a lot of dangers.
Modern lemurs range from 2.5 inches to 2.5 feet tall and from 30 gr to 6.8 kg in weight. Lemurs are very smart animals and of course the smarter a lemur, the more popular it is.
There are some different lemur species out there, in our Farm you will find 3 lovely ring-tailed Lemurs. Most species spend majority of their live high on the trees but ring-tailed Lemurs spend most of the time on the ground. You can recognize a ring-tailed lemur from the characteristic black rings formed on his tail.
That specie of lemur has some characteristics that make it stand out, such as the “stink fights”. Ring-tailed lemurs must compete with each other for limited resources like food, territory and mates, and competition grows especially fierce among males during breeding season.
Lemurs mature at two years and live for about 18 years, but a lot of the babies don’t live to be that old.
