Magazine - Kangaroo Management at Sanctuary Cove Golf Course

By Editor in Golf on 2nd Sep 2010 14:00

During this week the Ecological Services Unit of Wildlife Warriors and Endeavour Veterinary Ecology will be conducting kangaroo reproductive management operations on the Pines and the Palms golf courses.


This will ensure that the kangaroo population that lives in Sanctuary Cove remains at sustainable levels. Around 44 female kangaroos will be darted and a hormone implant will be inserted under their skin.

This implant will suppress reproduction in the female kangaroos for 3 - 5 years. Kangaroos recovering from the effects of the sedative may be uncoordinated and easily frightened so please stay well away from any kangaroo that appears to be recovering from anasthaesia. Sanctuary Cove wildlife officer Wendy Nelson will be assisting the Unit while they are on site.
