Immediately on hearing or seeing this formidable enemy, the kangaroo flies to the thickest cover, in which, if he can involve himself, he generally escapes.

In running to the cover, they always, if possible, keep in paths of their own forming, to avoid the high grass and stumps of trees which might be sticking up among it to wound them and impede their course.
[*I once found in the woods the greatest part of a kangaroo just killed by the dogs, which afforded to three of us a most welcome repast.

Marks of its turns and struggles on the ground were very visible.

This happened in the evening, and the dogs probably had seen us approach and had run away.

At daylight next morning they saluted us with most dreadful howling for the loss of their prey.] Our methods of killing them were but two; either we shot them, or hunted them with greyhounds.
