There are more than forty types

long tail.
It has got a small head with
two large ears and
sharp teeth. A
large male can be as tall as 2
metres and weigh almost 100kg. The
kangaroos body is ideal
for jumping great
distances and it can run at speeds of up to
70km/h. It is a marsupial animal, which
means that it has a
pouch on its belly to
carry its young. A baby kangaroo stays
in
its mums pouch for up to seven months.
Different species of kangaroo have
different diets but they
dont eat meat.
They eat grass and other plants. Many of
them rest in the shade all day and only
come out at night-time.
Their predators
include wild dogs such as dingos and foxes,
and large reptiles. Kangaroos are shy animals
and are usually not
a threat tohumans but
sometimes hunters kill them for sport or for their
meat. In the right conditions, kangaroos can live for about four to six years.1
