As vegetarians, the kangaroos exist on a diet of grass – predominantly the longer type around the course’s edges – bark, and leaves. A 1993 episode of The Price Is Right featured a blooper involving the travel version of Crocodile Dentist. The game was used as one of the small prizes in the pricing game Pathfinder, and host Bob Barker and model Janice Pennington decided to try it out. Barker triggered the sore tooth, which caused the crocodile's jaw to close on his finger and Barker to yelp in pain. [12]

Yet the kangaroos may actually require less upkeep than people, effectively “managing themselves,” Lacey added. Thankfully, one species of the nation’s most iconic animal is very little trouble at all, even for a course that accommodates hundreds of them. Pete Bishop.

Yet vigilance remains essential, especially for the two groups most at risk: those unaccustomed to the dangers of the local wildlife, and those searching for golf balls away from the open fairways and greens. The hopping marsupials were the original residents of the area, with the farmer only selling the land for the course – opened in 1953 – on the condition that the kangaroos would be allowed to keep living there. The challenge prepared by Jake and the crew is truly for anyone! Bring in up to 5 opponents, or play solo if you want to. Of course, you can even go for a practice round. If you're an experienced mini golf player, you can hop right into the game in the match mode! The Village of North Palm Beach notified residents of a crocodile that is living in the ponds of the North Palm Beach Country Club golf course. Since crocodiles are a threatened species, federal law does not allow the village to remove the animal.
