What is the difference between the grasshopper and a kangaroo?
RestyDetruz
The main difference between the kangaroo and a grasshopper is that the kangaroo is a vertebrate, while the grasshopper is an invertebrate.
Other obvious differences include:
- The kangaroo has an internal skeleton and a covering of skin and fur, whereas the grasshopper has an exoskeleton.
- The kangaroo is native to Australia (and the Tree kangaroo is also found in New Guinea) while grasshoppers are found all over the world.
- Kangaroos have two forelegs and two hind legs; grasshoppers have six legs, and wings.
- Kangaroos do not have antennae; grasshoppers do.
- Kangaroos have two eyes; grasshoppers have five compound eyes.
- Kangaroos bear live young which feed on mothers' milk, but grasshoppers lay eggs which hatch, and the young must fend for themselves.
- Kangaroos breathe through lungs and a full respiratory system, but grasshoppers breathe through spiracles along their abdomen and thorax.
- Being a vertebrate, the kangaroo has red blood. the blood of grasshoppers is green because it does not carry oxygen.
