    1. Yes they are. He really should wear pants, eh!
      You can buy leather money pouches made from the scrotum of ex-male kangaroos in some souvenir shops. http://www.australiagift.com/scrotum_shop/scrotum.htm
      Notice they are described as 'romantic'.

The eastern grey kangaroo is a marsupial found in southern and eastern Australia, with a population of several million. Although a big eastern grey male typically masses around 66 kg and stands almost 2 m tall, the scientific name, "Macropus giganteus", is misleading, as the red kangaroo of the semi-arid inland is, at 85 kg, larger.
