Bedtime for Beemer.

[Gob]

Most Australian males enjoy Vegemite on toast for breakfast, the odd game of footy and few bottles of something cold in front of the TV - but not many of them are marsupials.

But bouncy Beemer the red kangaroo is the exception to rule.

He lives with adopted mother Julianne Bradley, 50, who saved him after a road accident 18 months ago and with whom he shares her home in Glendambo, South Australia.

Every morning he starts the day with a plate of wild grass with his toast and Vegemite toast to put a spring in his step, before hopping into the back garden for a game of football.

He also loves a bit of dry cider in front of the television in the evening, but Julianne is careful not to let him sink too much.

And yes, his favourite show is Skippy.

Talking to local newspaper Adelaide Now, Julianne said: 'He just stands there and watches it. He relates to it, he loves the theme music and dances to it.'

Ms Bradley took on Beemer after a female motorist brought him into the garage that she manages.

The woman had rescued him from his mother's pouch after she was killed by a BMW motorcycle - hence her charge's name.

At the time, he was just 20cm tall he was so tiny that Julianne kept him in a sock.

She bottle fed him and now he shares the house with Julianne's other pets - Woolly the merino sheep, dogs Ned, Apples and Cider and Petie the cat.

She said: 'Beemer wouldn't know if he's a kangaroo, a cat, a dog or a sheep.

'He could easily jump the metre-high fence that surrounds the yard but it seems he wants to stay.'

'It would break my heart if he ran away but I don't think he will. He's just like part of the family, he's like my son.'

A fun pet, but what about when he is sexually mature? Might be a bit difficult to have in the house. Or do they get roos fixed?

If he's a red then you wouldn't want to be around him when he had a hard on. They're big bastards.

"Males grow up to a body length of 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in) long and weigh up to 85 kilograms (190 lb). "

They would probably have to have him neutered.

Well, that would explain the declining birthrate in Australia...
