Mini 2 Jumpy Kangaroos

[Dronut]

This is a quick video of some kangaroos that felt something was up but didn't associate the drone with what they were being jumpy about. It's really cool how wildlife is pretty much unaffected by the presence of the drone.

They were certainly nervy of the drone. It reminded me of the croc video from the other day. I expected the roo to leap and grab it.

They looked hopping mad to me
Great footage

The antennas (ears) are searching for a better signal.

I flew my drone out into the back 40 couple weeks ago and there were a couple of deer feeding in the field, I was surprised they did't even lift their heads from eating when I flew over. The deer around here are usually very aware & skittish of anything unusual, we like to keep our wildlife wild.

Interesting roo behaviour.
I guess the mornings events gives them something to talk about for the day, and far less stressful than mingling with the truckers on the highways !!

Jumpy roos, I find it interesting how they use their tails. Almost like a third leg when they rock back on it.

I've noticed larger animals rarely care about the drone as long as you aren't within a few feet. Deer, horses, most dogs, etc, are fine but squirrels and birds are either terrified or ready to fight.

@Dale D , were you allowed to fly on your safari?

Same here.

I have a couple of magpies that come to the house for a feed because they have a couple of chicks in their nest. They'll usually come swooping in when the drone has just started up and I'm waiting for it to connect with the controller. I have to shoo them away so I can take off without hitting them or shut everything down and get them some meat.
