One of the most iconic images associated with Australia is the kangaroo; there's others, but I feel that should someone see a picture of a kangaroo they'd immediately think of Australia...unless they're a fucken idiot (so many of them out there) and have no clue where kangaroos come from.

It's said that in ideal conditions, wetter years, the kangaroo population in Australia sits at around 50 million, about two kangaroos for every single person in the country. (The population fluctuates, depending on conditions, between about 35 million and 50 million.) It's an estimate of course, but an educated estimate.

Kangaroos hop through our major cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, catch buses, work at McDonalds, drive taxis, go to the pub and...ok, none of that at all to be honest; they are found in residential areas though, areas where scrubland is present nearby and those hoppy little (and really big) buggers are literally all over the entire country...and even on Hive. This post at least.

I've added a few photos of some kangaroos I saw lazing around and I thought I'd stick the hoppers into a post and see how good you folks are at spotting kangaroos.

The kangaroo count

All you have to do is study the images, all of the same group of kangaroos, and work out how many you reckon are in the images. If you want to have a crack at it, put your answer in the comments below.

A reward for your effort

I'll be issuing some pretty legit rewards to some of those who answer so if you're interested in testing your kangaroo spotting and counting skills and like legit rewards then have a go. If not, then do not.

Edit and answer: Five kangaroos...that I could see...maybe more.
