The Kangaroo is a common Marsupials from the island of Australia and New Guinea. Marsupials are animals with pouch. They carry their babies in a pouch in the mother’s abdomen.
Kangaroos have two strong legs with two long feet. They have a muscular long tail, large ears and smalls head. They have short arms with clawed hands. The soft, wooly fur can be blue, grey, red, black, yellow, or brown, depending on the species. Females have a pouch in which the young live and drink milk.
These herbivores (plant-eaters) eat grass, leaves, and roots. They swallow their food without chewing it. Kangaroos need little water, they can go for months without drinking, and they dig their own water wells.
These shy animals live about 6 years in the wild and up to 20 in captivity. Most Kangaroos are nocturnal (active at night). Kangaroos can hop up to 74 kilometers per hour and go over 9 meters in one hop.
