A picture I made a couple of weeks or so ago, that I decided I should put up here.
The concept of tribal kangaroos intrigues me, so much so I plan to do an animated short involving them in the future!

Well, anyway http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/.....9e585183_b.jpg See? They do have something to hide. XD
(Thought I'd browse through your gallery today)
Now this picture being classified as general viewing I need to word my post VERY carefully...
It wasn't until I finished reading the comments that I learned both 'roos here are male. I thought the joke was based around female marsupials having their bosom concealed within their pouches and their other private regions being out of view while they're upright.
In a tame, cartoon world it's a mute point, but as
TransformerRobot has pointed out in RL the bits on a male are certainly in full view.
The caretakers at the wildlife sanctuary where I used to volunteer were often asked a lot of awkward questions about what the visitors could see on the kangaroo, wallaby and wallaroo bucks. In fact one of the caretakers owes me one for getting her out of a difficult situation. They had a visitor group one day, with both adults and young children, most of whom including their leader had English as a 2nd language. Their leader was asking if the sanctuary breeds animals. The caretaker explained that the sanctuary's purpose is to rehabilitate injured and orphaned animals in the hope of returning them to the wild. Those few animals too crippled to survive in the wild remain within the sanctuary but have to be neutered. Here the language barrier created a problem and the group leader asked what was meant by "neutered." Worse still, this was a church group! The caretaker ummed and ahhhed for a few seconds before I came to the rescue.
"They have to be fixed so they can't have babies anymore."
The caretaker breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully thanked me. She looked like she was about to give me a hug.
