[oh-dear-so-queer]

Transgendered or intersexual individuals of various types are also found in several species, including Red Kangaroos, Euros (Macropus robustus), Tammar Wallabies (Macropus eugenii), and Quokkas (Setonix brachyurus). Some of these individuals have female body proportions and external genitalia, female or combined male-female internal reproductive organs, a scrotum, and absence of a pouch and mammary glands. Others have male reproductive organs, intermediate or female body proportions, and a pouch and mammary glands.

Australia is popular for its unique and diverse wildlife, and among its most iconic inhabitants is the Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus). Standing as the largest marsupial on the planet, the Red Kangaroo is not just a symbol of Australia’s vast outback but also holds a significant place in the country’s cultural and ecological landscape. From its distinctive appearance to its fascinating behaviors,…

What Are The Top Must-See Attractions On Tours Of Kakadu National Park?

Kakadu is one of the most spectacular places in Australia. It's home to thousands of species of plants, animals and insects that have adapted to survive in this arid climate. 

There are several ways to experience tours of Kakadu, including driving around on a 4WD tour or staying at one of our accommodation options for more freedom when exploring the park. Below are some of our favourite tours around Kakadu National Park:

Ubirr Rock Art Site

Ubirr Rock Art Site is a rock art site in the tours of Kakadu. It is located in Kakadu National Park, and was first discovered by researchers in 1974. 

The area has been occupied by indigenous Australians for thousands of years, and its ancient rock art contains evidence of their lifestyle and culture.

The Ubirr Rock Art site is one of Australia's oldest sites featuring rock paintings, which date back more than 20,000 years. The paintings depict animals such as water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), kangaroos (Macropus rufus), emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and dingoes (Canis lupus dingo).

Jim Dromaiids Falls

Jim Dromaiids Falls is a waterfall located in Kakadu National Park, an area that is home to many other popular attractions. It's also one of the most visited places in Kakadu National Park, so it's no surprise that there are plenty of things to see here!

Jim Dromaiids Falls has been called "the best thing about tours of Kakadu" and "the place where you should visit if you're going on vacation." You can take yourself back in time by exploring this waterfall with its natural pools and gushing waterfalls—it’s like stepping into another world!

Yellow Water Billabong

A billabong is a natural pool of water, usually fed by a spring or stream. Billabongs are often formed in arid regions where the soil is not easily permeable and water cannot drain away easily. 

They can be found throughout Australia, but are most common in Kakadu National Park, where they're often used as a campsite for tourists who want to experience camping on this beautiful land.

If you're traveling with kids and want to get them excited about nature, then you should definitely check professional guided tours! This feature will give them an opportunity to explore the beauty of Australia's landscape while also learning about its people through stories told by local guides.

Nourlangie Rock

Nourlangie Rock is a rock formation located in the Nourlangie National Park, near Jabiru. It's a popular tourist attraction and sacred site for the Yolgnu people, who have been dealing with its effects for thousands of years. 

The name "Nourlangie" means “fire” or “sunrise” in their language and refers to the time when sunrise happens over this rock formation every day (hence why it's also called Sunrise Rock).

Conclusion

There are many attractions in tours of Kakadu that you can visit on a tour. In this article, we have listed some of the most popular ones. 

The best way to experience these places is by hiring a guide who knows their way around and can show you around in comfort. If you want to make sure your trip is safe and fun, then always make sure to do your research first before booking something!

Red Kangaroo

Macropus Rufus

From all species of kangaroos, it is the largest one. It also takes the record as the largest extant marsupials and largest terrestrial mammal native.

Red kangaroo can be found living in central and Western Australia. They like living in desert, grassland and scrubland. They can jump well because they have two forelimbs with small claws and two muscular hind limbs. When they want to stand in upright position, they will use the tail for the tripod.

Red Kangaroo with Color Pencils [Time Lapse]

The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest extant marsupial. 🦘This resident of Australia can weigh as much as 187 pounds (85 kilograms) and reach heights of 5 feet (1.5 meter). It has a muscular tail that can grow up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) long, which the animal uses as a “fifth limb” to push itself forward while walking.

And continuing on the "post my art, actually": complaining about memes in Paleontography.

I'm not talking about something like this, which is cool. I'm talking about features that are propagated across paleontography for no good reason, and in this case, how ridiculous they look on modern animals.

(since we have no ability to tell what color or pattern most extinct animals were, I have given the reconstructions their life colors)

Meme 1: everyone seems to reconstruct feathered dinosaurs with a rather useless "pseudobeak" or even a fully naked or scaled face. There is no evidence for this at least for most species, and as you can see, modern predatory mammals (Canis lupus and Panthera tigris here) look ridiculous when given such a treatment.

Interestingly, there is one group of mammals with such a bare face: primates like baboons. HMM.

Meme 2: slavishly reconstructing animals based on their distant relatives. So this is Equus przewalskii reconstructed with the integument of a rhinoceros instead of their short fur coat. Now, of course, this is due to absence of alternative evidence, but I've seen people insist that all ceratopsians be reconstructed after either Triceratops or Psitaccosaurus, regardless of size or habitat. I find series of ceratopsians that all have Psitaccosaurus's tail spines and Triceratops's scutes irritating.

Meme 3: "This Macropus rufus has been reconstructed accurately with scaly integument, since all fur impressions are known from Eutherans, and marsupials were probably too primitive to have them."

Primitive mammals manage to dodge this trap, of course—there's usually a variety of constructions of mammal-like reptiles using scales, fur, hide, or a combination thereof, but dinosaurs always got scales unless they were theropods until Tianyulong and Kulindadromeus... despite small size and endothermic anatomy suggesting integument.

Next up, if I ever do more, is going to be my take on Tianyulong and Psitaccosaurus, or perhaps a redtailed hawk with scales all over their body.
