I’m thrilled to announce that my photo of these boxing young Kangaroo Island kangaroos was a finalist in the 2024 Pangolin Wildlife Photography Challenge‘s “Out of Africa” category.
I captured this photo while on a trip to Kangaroo Island, a beautiful and unique place in South Australia. It is one of my absolute favorite photos of the year, and it’s an honor to have it recognized among so many beautiful entries.
The kangaroos in the photo are Kangaroo Island kangaroos, a subspecies of the Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus). Because of their long period of isolation from mainland Australia, the KI kangaroos are pretty different from the Western Grey kangaroos. They’re shorter, darker, and much cuter if you ask me!
I’m thrilled to have made it among the finalists. There were so many talented photographers and beautiful photos submitted. I’m honored to be included among them. Thanks to everyone who supported me!
I hope this photo helps remind people of how important it is to protect and preserve our wildlife and helps to raise awareness and appreciation for these amazing animals. Every animal has a unique story and deserves to be appreciated and respected.
