The Eastern Grey kangaroo moves primarily by bounding. When moving quickly, Grey kangaroos mainly travel by hopping. They have powerful hind legs ideal for speedy bounding. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. Their strong back legs and elongated hind feet enable them to bound. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. When moving slowly, kangaroos walk. They support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along. Their hind legs cannot move independently, but must be pulled together.
The noise made by a Grey kangaroo can best be described as a sort of gentle tut-tut sound. When more aggressive, the noise increases to a louder grunting, and occasional hissing. Some people have reported territorial growling.
The thumping of a kangaroo in full flight is a distinctive sound as well. Its strong, heavy hind legs make a distinct "thud" as it moves through bushland, and other kangaroos will recognise the sound of their own kind in flight, and heed it as a warning.
Australia's most common marsupial is the kangaroo. Apart from the fact that the kangaroo family includes some 60 species, the three largest species still make up the most common marsupials. These three species are the Red kangaroo, eastern Grey kangaroo and Western Grey kangaroo.
The Eastern grey kangaroo was known by the indigenous Australians thousands of years before European settlers ever set foot on the continent. Eastern grey kangaroos were first discovered by Europeans when James Cook's ship, Endeavour, ran aground near today's Cooktown as a result of being damaged on the Great Barrier Reef. This occurred in June 1770. The ship took nearly two months to be repaired, and this gave Sir Joseph Banks, ship's botanist, plenty of time to make observations and drawings of the native wildlife. This was when Banks managed to communicate with the local Aborigines well enough to record the name of the kangaroo as gangurru. The first actual recorded sighting was on 14 July 1770 when a crewman shot one of the animals and brought it back to the main camp for examination. This would have been an Eastern Grey because it is known to frequent coastal areas, unlike the Red kangaroo.

No. Larger species of kangaroos such as Reds and both species of Greys, as well as wallaroos and wallabies, neither "nest" nor make nests.However, some of the smaller species, such as the various rat-kangaroos (quite unrelated to the kangaroo rat of North America) do make nests, in a burrow, under tree roots or within grassy underbrush.
You cannot make kangaroo milk. Kangaroo milk is very different from milk of placental mammals, and a very young joey is unable to survive without its mother's milk.

You need to make a urgent vetinaray appointment for your Dog. This sounds like a serious eye infection which may result in blindness, hence the grey cloudy spot. Contact your Vet now.
Boomer means a kangaroo. It usually refers to a large male kangaroo. Mobs of kangaroos make a loud 'booming' sound when they are on the move, particularly in the outback, which is free of human sounds. The booming sound resounds and resonates through the ground.
