Turning the tables
One of the largest kangaroo species, the eastern grey kangaroo swims well and evades predators, like dingoes, by diving. When cornered, it may turn the tables to hold the predators underwater and drown them.

The biggest of the mob, Rambo is a foodie who absolutely loves his vegetable pellets.
He is also very affectionate and loves a good chest and neck rub from his keepers.
Rambo spends most of his time chilling in the shade, or grooming his best friend, Hana.
