Kangaroos

All mammals shed fur. However, there is no particular shedding season for kangaroos, just as there is no specific shedding season for any of Australia's marsupials.

There are over 60 species of kangaroo, and their habitat varies according to the species.

Kangaroos' habitats include grasslands, mulga scrub, bushland (not too dense) and open plains - wherever there is food, and shade trees. Red kangaroos prefer this type of habitat. They will generally not frequent rocky slopes and hillsides, this being more territory for wallabies and wallaroos. However, they will shelter under cliffs and in caves in bad weather.

Some members of the kangaroo family can be very small, and these smaller members dig burrows in desert and semi-arid areas, living on insects, larvae, fungi and plant roots. Larger kangaroos, such as the reds and greys, do not live in the desert (despite what some overseas websites report) because there is insufficient food there.

Wallabies, another member of the kangaroo family, are commonly found in scrubland and bushland throughout Australia (including Tasmania), and rock wallabies and wallaroos may be found in hilly, rocky areas. Wallabies have been introduced to New Zealand, but any sightings there have been of kangaroos remain unconfirmed. Some zoos in other countries have licences to have kangaroos in captivity.

Kangaroos usually have just one joey at a time. The kangaroo is unique in that it has the ability to suspend the development of another embryo until external conditions, such as availability of food, are right for the emergence of another young.

However, it is not unusual for a female kangaroo to have two different aged joeys in her pouch at the same time. It is extremely unusual for a kangaroo to have more than one joey of the same age at any given time, but twins have been observed on rare occasions.

Mature female kangaroos often spend their lives in a state of constant pregnancy. As an older joey moves closer to being weaned, a new young embryo makes its way to the pouch, where it will attach to a teat and stay there during its development. In times of drought or food shortage, the mother kangaroo will actually suspend the development of the embryo until a better time.

Kangaroos NEVER have two Joeys in their pouches unless they are twins which is extremely rare, she will have one in her porch and one at foot which is still reliant on it's mothers milk.

They do not spend their lives in a state of constant pregnancy, they adjust their breeding to the conditions of wet or drought

Kangaroos have one Joey per year which is dependent on her milk until it is 18 months old, she may have another Joey in the pouch.

Not all Kangaroos are able to have embryonic diapause, holding back a fertilised egg, The mortality rate for juvenile joeys is 75%

A baby kangaroo (joey) is born via the mother's birth canal, from where it makes its way up to the mother's pouch. This rather arduous journey is aided by the mother licking a pathway from the birth canal to her pouch, and by the fact that the joey operates purely on instinct, grasping the mother's fur with its tiny claws to move upwards.

the lions on sims animals Africa will eat the gazells and zebras and if you don't want your lions eating all of your zebras and gazells give them a fruit called boxthorn fruit and they will actually like it! But if you don't want to give them boxthorn fruit give them bugs... oh and make sure you don't give them a bug that will do something to them like the rainbow bug or something because some of the effects are permenent!

Neither. The baby kangaroo, or joey, emerges from the birth canal, much as any mammal young does, but it is completely blind and hairless. Moving by instinct only, it crawls up the mother's fur to the pouch, where it attaches to a teat. The teat then swells in the joey's mouth, securing it through all the mother's movement so it cannot be dislodged, until it has grown for several weeks.

The term "Marsupial mouse" covers a range of small, carnivorous marsupials in Australia, including the phascogale, dunnart, ningaui, planigale and antechinus, just to name a few. These animals are aggressive hunters, feeding on lizards, invertebrates, small bis and even other small mammals.

Some species of marsupial mice, such as the antechinus, also eat nectar.

Kangaroos sleep, or at least rest, through the hotter parts of the day, and they lick themselves to keep cool. In the evening, they get up and feed. They eat grass and other plants that are on the ground. In early morning they go back to rest in the shade. Male kangaroos box each other in order to determine which male will get to mate with most of the females.

Yes.

Female kangaroos take care of the young joeys for between six and nine months, depending on the species of kangaroo. She will allow the older joey to return to suckle until about the age of twelve months.

The male has no part in raising the joeys.

A new born kangaroo is little more than a centimetre long. This is little more than half an inch. It climbs to the mother's pouch and feeds there for about seven months, before emerging from the pouch for short periods of time.

Red bellied black snakes drink water, like all snakes do.

There is no jelly-like substance in a kangaroo's pouch.

Inside the pouch is dry and warm, and secure for the tiny embryo, which initially resembles a blob of jelly. It stays attached to the mother's teat for several months, until it grows into a joey large enough to begin leaving the pouch for short periods of time. In all, the joey stays in the pouch for about eight months (235 days), depending on the species.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo range in height between 1.3m and 1.4m for males, while the female is unlikely to exceed 1.1 m in height.

Dingoes hunt some of the smaller kangaroos. Man is a greater danger to the kangaroo than dingoes are. They used to have another similar-sized predator, the Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian tiger), but they are now extinct from the mainland and probably from the island of Tasmania.

As larger kangaroos are herbivores they don't hunt, therefore have no prey. Smaller species of kangaroos such as musky rat-kangaroos prey on small invertebrates such as earthworms and grasshoppers.

They are warm-flooded vertebrate animals that nurse their the young with milk. They have hair or fur like other mammal and the young are born live (only monotreme mammals like the platypus lay eggs).

When a kangaroo or other marsupial is born, it is very small and undeveloped, about the size of a bean. The newborn joey must crawl into its mother's pouch, purely by instinct, where it latches onto a teat. The teat swells in its mouth, effectively locking it into place. There the joey stays to complete its development until it is able to start leaving the pouch and look after itself. The pouch is like a humidicrib or incubation ward. It just happens to be the way marsupials are designed.

A vertebrate is an animal with a distinct neural tract running along the dorso-medial aspect of its body and the neural tract is encased in an ossified bony column. Based upon observing this anatomy, a scientist would classify an animal as a vertebrate.
