Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Halls Gap, Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus, which means gigantic large-foot) roams freely at Halls Gap Lakeside Caravan Park, surrounded by Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia. This large kangaroo, also known as the Great Grey Kangaroo or Forester, has a soft grey coat, and is usually found in moister, more fertile areas than the Red Kangaroo. Indigenous Australian names include iyirrbir and kucha. The Eastern Grey Kangaroos live in open grassland and bushland near the major cities of the south and east coast of Australia, and are much more commonly seen than the Reds, which live in the Outback. Like all kangaroos, it is mainly nocturnal and crepuscular, mostly seen at dawn or dusk.
