Description

Kangaroos are large, herbivorous marsupials native to Australia.
They are known for their powerful hind legs, long tails, and ability to hop at high speeds.
Kangaroos carry their young, called joeys, in a pouch on their belly.
They live in groups called mobs and are most active at dawn and dusk.
Their strong legs help them travel long distances in search of food and water.
History
↓↓
Kangaroos have lived in Australia for millions of years.
They evolved to survive in dry, open environments with little water.
Aboriginal Australians have hunted and depicted kangaroos in rock art for thousands of years.
European settlers first described kangaroos in the 18th century.
They quickly became a symbol of Australia and appear on the national emblem.
Today, kangaroos are both protected and managed due to their large population.
They remain an important part of Australia’s culture, wildlife, and ecosystem.
