Portrait of a beautiful young female kangaroo

Dear Leisa, Such very sad news, and such a common fate for Australian kangaroos, as human populations expand into rural and bushland areas. We here know how you have dedicated your life to these friendly, sociable animals. And how Potsei will be missed by her clan and friends. What a beautiful kangaroo she was. Thank you for introducing her to the rest of us.

What drastic and tragic news for a very pretty lady kangaroo! This horrible news is indicative of the terrible toll traffic is having on our native animals. It's a death trap, of roads criss-crossing our nation, causing carnage and suffering. As our economy grows, and our nation swells with more and more people, the balance of Nature is being swayed towards anthropocentric damage, and loss of species. Our mega-diverse country was never meant to be a big economic power-house. The loss of Potsei and her new joey is a loss for us all, and symbolic of so many kangaroos are other animals that are flattened and sacrificed in the name of economic progress!
