At first, you can get a little leery about them coming that close and trying to
eat food of your hands but, slowly as you start getting to understand their
behavior, you wouldn't believe how enjoyable this experience can be. It feels
like they are giant dogs when you are touching them although, it's clear how
strong they are and it's amazing how sharp their claws can be.

Because of the amount of visits every day and the contact with the Park’
staff, Kangaroos run free among people and eat food of their hands. Even
though they are wild animals, there are several species that are friendly to
people and allow a close encounter. It’s not recommended to try getting
close to them on the wild because they can be pretty dangerous and in some
cases even fatal. Usually, Kangaroos don't attack unless they feel a threat to their offspring or to themselves.

There are other typical animals of the region in the park, such as the Koalas, they
look like a ted bear. Due to a environment protection, these animals are protected and in
some regions of Australia it's against the law to touch them.
Koalas sleep most of the day, approximately 18 out of the 24 hours of the day and they
feed almost exclusively of eucalyptus.

The possibility of having such marvelous animals up that close and playing
with them as if they were pets is priceless. The feeling of them eating of your
hands is at the same time very odd and wonderful, there is no way you will not
appreciate how cute and adorable these creatures are.
If you go to Australia and visit Melbourne, I definitely recommend you to take
the time and go to Ballarat Wild Life Park to have a funny and warm experience with nature.
