What is a Kangaroo?
A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia,
although it has a smaller relative, called a wallaby, which
lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New
Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short
front legs, but very long, and very strong back legs and a
tail. These they use for sitting up on and for jumping.
Kangaroos have been known to make forward
jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more
than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of over
45 kilometres per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey
Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults grow to a length of
1.60 metres and weigh over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the
female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her
body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it
crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five
months of life.
