This week's PhotoHunt theme is funny.
When I saw this big guy taking an afternoon siesta in the sun, I couldn't help but laugh.
The Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial and it can grow up to two meters (6 feet) and weight up to 90 kilos (200 pounds). Kangaroos are bipeds and their powerful hind legs allow them to move at speeds up to 56 km (35 miles) an hour. In a single bound they can travel 8 meters (25 feet) and they can jump 1.8 meters (6 feet) high. The use their strong hind legs as a method of defense and in a fight they will hold the antagonist with their forefeet while rearing on the tail and giving powerful kicks with their back feet. The Australian giant lives across the mainland and feeds on grasses.

Hi Maya, very funny and great photo! Considering how fast he runs, how far he leaps and his strong kicks, it's no wonder he's taking a nice power nap. :)
