As can be expected from social creatures, schnozzaroos tend to get in each others' business a lot.  They'll even snoop in the goings-on of other species.  In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say they're actually quite nosy.


Also, the females are susceptible to depression, from chronic to post-partum, due to hormonal crashes.  That's why the males will often help raise youngsters in their own pouches, as Nortstar points out.  The females often need the support of their partners and herd.  Yet, sometimes, you just have no choice but to ask them, "What's with the long face?"

They look so cute ^^

Schnozzaroos are larde animals that lived in a plains and in bushes. They are plant eaters but they don't eat grass, they prefer other species of plants, they can eat fruits too. They can travel for long distance to find plants they like the most.  They have great smell, they can smell their favorite plant or fruits from many miles. Thanks to theirs nose they can found food whit great precision. 
Unfortnatelly they are not the fastes of animals, when surprised they can be easy prey. To keep safe they live in groups, with great smell and good hearing, they protect one another. Luckly for them they are lard creatures so there is only a few predators that can hut them.
Their social live is very peacefull. The group consist of unrealated copules. The pair stay together for all live and they are very loyal to each other. 
They are marsupials, they carry their youngs in bags. What might be a surprice males help females with cups. They have a bag too, so when the cups stop drink milk the male started to take care for them unitill they are independent. Most of the young one stay in the same gropu for a year or two befor they leave to find a partner.

Hello and thanks a lot for that explanation!  And interesting fact - one living species of marsupial, the water opossum or yapok, also have males that have pouches!
