They may look cute and cuddly but they are a potential danger to cars on the road. Not as big as moose or deer, they can still do quite a lot of damage to a vehicle if they get hit. Unfortunately, they usually come off second best.
Early morning and towards dusk are the times that kangaroos like to graze, although they can often be seen throughout the day. When they're startled by passing traffic they tend to bound off suddenly, sometimes into the path of oncoming cars.
As a reminder to motorists to watch out for kangaroos, these signs are everywhere in the Outback. This one is just on the approach to Wilpena Pound, Flinders Ranges.
