When I was there, it was the last time I used public transport

I live out in the burbs where getting anywhere requires a long walk to the train.

No public transport in Stockholm?

I mean "there" as in that side of the world

How was I supposed to know that you consider Holland and Scandinavia to be the same? You are too liberal with those fishslaps, missy.

Today I'm pretty sure I hate Sacramento's bus drivers

I swear I kinda got a little spooked at how he was looking at me. Like--okay, I'm posing for ya..where's my food, biatch? I backed off.

We asked the keeper what he was feeding them. He said bananas, corn and other veggies. He looked like he wanted to eat ME.

Well they must eat grass and stuff I guess

Looked it up... Very interesting. I wonder why the zoo keepers don't just feed them what they eat in the wild?

Most kangaroos and wallabies are herbivores, which means that they eat only plants. They eat mostly leaves and grass, although some also eat fruit, seeds, and fungi. Some of the smaller species are omnivores, animals that eat both animals and plants. These species eat insects and other invertebrates.

What do kangaroos eat? That depends — there are many different kinds of kangaroos, and kangaroo habitat varies accordingly. Some live up in trees, some in the desert, occupy open grasslands. The major dietary difference is between tree kangaroos and terrestrial kangaroos.

In both tree kangaroos and terrestrial kangaroos, the stomach is large, containing zymotic bacteria capable of breaking down tough fibrous food. The digestive process is similar to what goes on in a cow's stomach, although the anatomy differs. But terrestrial kangaroos apply their high-power digestion tools to grass primarily, while leaves and fruit are the main foods of tree kangaroos. Also, tree kangaroos have a broader diet that may include bark, sap, and flowers. When they can get them, they eat eggs, birds, and other small animals, too. Terrestrial kangaroos are strict vegetarians.

Animal-to-human diseases ...pert warns

Kangaroo exports as an emerging trade

Kangaroos and wallabies can harbour a wide range of parasitic, bacterial, fungal and viral diseases and the majority of infections are unapparent.

Dr David Obendorf: Suffice to say issues such as poor killing practices, delays in gutting carcasses, delays in refrigerating carcasses, inappropriate sanitation and effluent management, the inadequate long-term chilling of carcasses, and failure to use of potable water are the most obvious causes of bacterial contamination of meat product that can lead to human health risks from bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter.

Diseases in Kangaroo Meat

It is possible that the weakened genetic pool due to continually shooting the healthiest, strongest animals is responsible for increased disease levels in kangaroos. Kangaroos harbour a vast range of parasites - many increase with stress and crowding.

Australian doctors in 1997 warned of a new threat to human health from eating kangaroo meat. Dr Erika Cox, clinical microbiologist at Launceston General Hospital, said: "Laboratory tests suggest a new species of microscopic worm is responsible." She added: "People who eat kangaroos and wallabies are at risk of all kinds of parasites that are not normally studied because they don't occur in livestock."

this meat comes in special irradiated packages - it is specially treated in a way other meats aren't
