What animal is a kangaroo?

Answer 1

• A kangaroo is a vertebrate. In simple terms, this means it has a backbone and an internal skeleton.
• A kangaroo is also a mammal. Mammals have skin and hair/fur, breathe using lungs (unlike fish and juvenile amphibians), are warm-blooded, and suckle their young on mothers' milk.
• Within the mammal group are several sub-groups. The kangaroo is a marsupial, meaning it gives birth to undeveloped young which continue their development outside of the mother's body, usually in a pouch.
• Finally, the kangaroo is a macropod. Macropods are characterised by strong hind legs and long tails for balancing.
