After receiving what appeared to be a stern reprimand from his long-suffering mother, this cheeky young kangaroo is unlikely to misbehave again.
In one image, she holds the joey by the shoulders, seemingly attempting to shake some sense into him.
In another shot, she looms over the little fellow to establish her authority – no surprise that he’s looking a bit jumpy.
Rumors suggesting he had been ‘roo-d to his mother remain unverified.
These heartwarming moments between mother and baby were captured by photographers John Eastcott and Yva Momatiuk.
While exploring the Yuraygir National Park in New South Wales, the couple was fortunate enough to snap these fantastic images.
