User's notes
Does anyone have any information on this Kangaroo, and what research project it has been tagged for? Collar is A2, and I think the green ear tag might say 100. Location may not be accurate, but definitely up the hill at ANBG.

Hi Christine, female EGKs at ANBG wearing that type of collar were treated ~5 y ago in research by ACT Govt and CSIRO on a fertility control vaccine 'Gonacon'. Staff at ANBG would have more information or I can give you names of researchers if you pm me. I cant see a pouch bulge, or young at foot.
