Kangaroos

A carnivore is a person or animal that has a diet consisting of mainly meat.

Yes. Twins are uncommon, yet the mother kangaroo can easily have two differently aged joeys in her pouch at the same time. She is capable of producing two different types of milk to suit the different needs of the joeys.

Kangaroos are found in the geographic region known as Oceania. The continent of Australia makes up most of this geographic region, and it is the place to which almost all species of kangaroo are native. Tree kangaroos are also native to the island of New Guinea, which makes up the next largest part of the geographic region of Oceania.

All species of kangaroos can be eaten, whether they are red kangaroos, grey kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies, potoroos, tree kangaroos or rat-kangaroos.

potty on your face. then put some susu on it and try to eat. only then you will be able to answer our question. if you dont answer even then eat goat potty and in dessert eat rabbit potty then your mind will start working. understand..u better understand.

The Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the continent - not the dry, sandy desert but in semi-arid desert areas - and on part of the Western Australian coast. The red kangaroo lives in a much drier, hot climate than the Grey kangaroos. It prefers temperate areas, but is not found in the tropical regions of far north Australia.

Kangaroos are essentially nocturnal. They are more active in the cooler hours of the early morning and the late afternoon. During the heat of the day they are more sedentary, lying around quietly and chewing their cud.

In hot weather, kangaroos use saliva to cool down, licking their forearms where there is little muscle tissue and blood veins run close to the surface. When the saliva evaporates from the fur, it cools down the kangaroo

There are millions of kangaroos in Australia. They are a very common sight in the outback, bushland and even the fringes of some settlements. There are, in fact, more now than there were prior to European settlement in Australia. In 1996, it was estimated that there were 10 million Eastern Grey kangaroos, 10 million Red kangaroos and 3 million Western Grey kangaroos. These figures do not take into account all the smaller members of the kangaroo family, including wallaroos, wallabies, pademelons right down to the tiny desert-dwelling musky rat kangaroos.

Red kangaroos cannot walk or run. They hop and jump.

A comfortable hopping speed for red kangaroos is 19 kilometres per hour (12 miles per hour), and they can maintain this speed for hours, stopping for brief rests. They can have short bursts of speed of between 55 and 70 kph (35-44mph).

A single jump can be up to 8 metres (29 feet) long, and 1.8m (6 feet) in height.

Yes. When kangaroos fight among each other, males may be seen to punch or box and kick each other.

Kangaroos can be seen virtually anywhere in the inland or travelling along the eastern seaboard of Australia. Drive along a country road, and you are sure to see them, especially in outback Queensland and New South Wales. The best times (and most dangerous time) is early morning and dusk, as this is when they feed, often on the fresh grass on the side of the road. Unfortunately, you are more likely to see kangaroo carcasses, the result of recent roadkill in the night.

Male kangaroos are the largest marsupials. They are heavy, and the thumping of a kangaroo in full flight makes a distinctive booming sound. Its strong, heavy hind legs make a distinct "thud" as it moves through bushland, and other kangaroos will recognise the sound of their own kind in flight, and heed it as a warning.

Depending on the species, the weight of tree kangaroos varies. For example, the smallest of the tree kangaroos, Lumholtz's tree kangaroo, varies from an average of 7.2 kg (15.8 lb) for males and 5.9 kg (13 lb) for females. Matschie's tree kangaroo varies in weight from 7-10 kg (15 - 22 lb). Bennett's tree kangaroo is much larger, with males reaching up to 14 kg (30 lb).

There is no such creature as a mouse kangaroo.

The closest creature is a kangaroo mouse. It is a native hopping mouse, found only in the southwestern deserts of the United States. They are endangered, so it would be illegal for a person to try and own one.

Generally, no. The closest any species of kangaroo comes to living in a jungle is the tree kangaroo, which lives in tropical rainforests of northern Australia and the island of New Guinea.

Kangaroos are found in a wide variety of habitats across Australia. Given that there are over 60 species of kangaroos, this essentially means that there can be a type of kangaroo in almost all habitats. They are found primarily in bushland (dry sclerophyll woodland) as well as open plains, grasslands, scrubland, semi-arid land, alpine and sub-alpine mountain slopes, wetlands, cool temperate to tropical rainforest and even the fringes of suburban settlement.

To hop, jump and protect their babies by kicking enemies.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo has grey-brown fur. Its shoulders are slightly darker while its tail has a dark tip. Eastern Grey kangaroos have strong hind legs and short forelegs. The forelegs have no thumb. The female kangaroo has a pouch for the joey (baby). They have a long, powerful, muscular tail to help balance.

• Kangaroos are marsupials and deer are placental mammals.
• Most species of kangaroo have "embryonic diapause". This means female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.
• Kangaroos and deer move differently. Deer use all four legs to run and leap. Kangaroos mostly just use their hind legs. Deer can run very fast, but cannot sustain this speed for long distances. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding.
• Kangaroos have long, strong tails for balancing. Deer have a small tail which does not serve any significant function.

A baby kangaroo is called a joey. Joeys are born very early in the gestational period and stay in the pouch for around nine months.
