Here we examine the bone histology of the femora and humeri of the Western Grey Kangaroo, Macropus fuliginosus. Our results reveal that bone modelling in response to ontogenetic growth and the development of tuberosities on the femur, and especially in the humerus, lead to a highly complex histology. We propose that the alternating fast and slow rates of bone deposition are seasonal, and are likely correlated with heterothermy related to ecological constraints during the summer months. In females, after the fourth growth mark in the f
