kangaroos




The kangaroo is an Australian animal, which we can find in different kinds.


There are about 60 differents pieces of kangaroo but they are very close. We distinguish two categories: the Macropodidae and the Potoroidae. Some of the macropod family are different in size and weight ranging from 0.5 kg to 90 kg. The potoroinae lives only in Australia. Kangaroos live throughout Australia.


Kangaroos are herbivorous, they eat some plants and sometimes Fungi. Kangaroos are variable between nocturnal and diurnal. Some of them are nocturnal but some are active in the early morning and late afternoon. Potoroids make nests while tree_kangaroos live above the ground in trees, but some of them live in caves and rock clefts.


usually kangaroos are brown, but there is one family which is white and its name Albino_kangaroo.


They have one thing in common: powerful back legs with long feet. all female kangaroos have front_opening pouches that contain four teats, this is where the young Kangaroo is raised until it can survive outside the pouch. Most kangaroos able to breed all year round.
