With a full title of "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo", it featured a kangaroo that came and went from the household of a park ranger at the fictitious Waratah national park in New South Wales. Much loved by Sonny, the young son of the ranger, Skippy was quite a remarkable kangaroo, evidently more intelligent than the average kangaroo, being involved in all sorts of adventures and often helping to capture crooks.
Was Skippy the kangaroo a wallaby?
Yes. The main character in the Australian children's TV series "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" was not only a wallaby - it was several wallabies. Wallabies cannot be trained, and the animals used in the show kept escaping, so had to be replaced quite frequently.
When did Skippy the Bush Kangaroo end?
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo was a children's television show that originated in Australia. It was set in New South Wales in the fictitious "Waratah National Park", and, according to a 2009 documentary made about the series, it did not use kangaroos as the main character, but wallabies. (There has been some scepticism regarding this, as others are of the firm opinion that Eastern Grey kangaroos were used.) Numerous different animals were used, partly because they kept escaping, and wallabies and kangaroos are notoriously untrainable.Regardless of whether wallabies or kangaroos were used, however, it is not known when any of the Skippy wallabies or kangaroos died. Skippy herself was never "killed off" in the series.
Are kangaroos trainable?
No. A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Australian children's 1970s television show, "Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo", reveals that kangaroos are actually not trainable at all. "Skippy" was not one Kangaroo (actually a wallaby), but many, because the animals kept escaping into the bush. At times, the only way to calm the kangaroo down was to throw a sack over it, making it feel the sense of security it had in its mother's pouch, and to release it for each scene.
What is the name of a big kangaroo?
Australians probably do not have a "favourite" kangaroo, as such. If the word "favourite" can be transposed into "the best known", it would be the Red kangaroo. This is the one that is most prolific, and probably the one most associated with the Australian image. The one that many 'baby boomers' identify with is "Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo", from an Australian children's television series of the 1960s-70s.
