To what order does the kangaroo belong?

Answer 1

The kangaroo belongs to the order Diprotodontia, meaning "two front teeth". Many other marsupials also belong to this order, including wallabies, wallaroos, koalas, possums, sugar gliders and wombats. The kangaroo is also a marsupial, but this is not its order. "Marsupialia" was originally the order, but it is now regarded as the "infraclass".

Answer 2

The Red kangaroo, like all species of kangaroos, belongs to the order Diprotodontia, meaning "two front teeth". Many other marsupials also belong to this order, including wallabies, wallaroos, koalas, possums, sugar gliders and wombats. The kangaroo is also a marsupial, but this is not its order. "Marsupialia" was originally the order, but it is now regarded as the "infraclass".

Answer 3

It is uncertain what the question means.

Kangaroos "belong" to Australia, the continent to which they are native, while tree kangaroos also "belong" to the island of New Guinea, and parts of Indonesia.

Kangaroos are also mammals which belong to the infraclass Marsupialia, Order Diprotodontia and Family Macropodidae.

Answer 4

If you want the answer down to species then you must be more specific in your question than "kangaroo".

Kindom - Animalia

Phylum - Chordata

Class - Mammalia

Infraclass - Marsupialia

Order - Diprotodontia

Family - Macrofodidae

Genus - Macropus

Subgenus - Macropus and Osphranter

Species ------- you need to be more specific about which sort of kangaroo.
