How any of these things are still alive on the mainland, I'll never know. It's like Pooh Bear living in Jurassic Park.

They're not. You can only find them in the wild on Rottnest Island. Admittedly the reason for that however is not the other native wildlife but the introduction of feral cats, dogs and foxes.

They exist on the mainland too
in a protected colony
.

I must have glazed over that last part when I was reading up on them.
 
At the Steve Irwin Zoo in Australia they have a section wide open were people can interact with kangaroos in a park face to face, no restrictions. I accidentally walked into area and said nope. I rushed out immediately.

Thats actually normal in Australia, in Tasmania we have Bonorong and Zoodoo that are both open plan like that.

You can get an idea in this video of Bonorong;

Mostly smaller wallabies etc, but there are a few kangaroos. They actually give you food to go and hand feed them with.

We have one near our house, Symbio Wildlife park. My kid loves feeding the little ones. Once a big roo came up to me, I offered him the feed bag, he puts his paws around my hands and basically pinned me in place while he ate all the food from the bag. Strong mofos.
 
I was on a island close to Perth full of Quokkas called Rottnest (Rat's Nest). Cycled around the island, amazing place, and full of Quokkas.

If you sit down they come out of the bushes. They only seem to move when your not looking. And before you know it you are surrounded by about fifty or more. They do a little hop and then stop and stare at you with those eyes, those big black eyes.... It was a little unsettling.

The whole boxing thing seems like a myth now that I've watched a ton of Kangaroo videos. It's more like they are just trying to reach their massively swollen arms out to choke you to death. Psychotic creature.
