Not all kangaroos live in the hot environment, but those that do have a number of adaptations to help them.
Kangaroos have a network of fine veins just beneath the surface of the skin on their forearms. They lick this area, and the saliva evaporates, cooling down the blood vessels. Kangaroos are essentially nocturnal, being active during the night time. They are crepuscular, meaning they feed in the early morning, before it is too hot, and in the evening, as the earth cools down. Kangaroos are more active during the night. During the day, they laze around under trees, chewing their cud. Their large ears help with heat dissipation. Contrary to overseas opinion, kangaroos do not live in the barren, sandy desert. There is always vegetation for them to shelter underneath.
