Sarah Kinnon spotted the animal at her property in Longreach, Queensland, while driving around a paddock with her husband. Kinnon told Newsweek it was around midday and there were “many kangaroos” around, as there usually are in this area. “Then out of nowhere, a pure white kangaroo was jumping with the rest,” she said. “He didn’t stop unfortunately so I just got some pictures of him moving along.” Kinnon saw a white kangaroo at her property about six months ago, but she did not have a chance to photograph it at the time....

The Ferrari driver’s first win since September 2015 was an encouraging sign that the Scuderia could finally challenge Mercedes’ three-year dominance of the sport, with Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas finishing second and third respectively.

The new game is being developed by Playground Games, a studio mostly known for the Forza Horizon games. Despite many calling the game Fable 4, too, it seems that the newest entry will be a reboot more than a direct sequel. Since Microsoft’s announcement that a new Fable is coming, though, there haven’t been any new updates for the upcoming RPG.
