Surely, you have seen kangaroos in many films, cartoons, or books. Kangaroo is a very interesting and funny animal. This animal feeds on grass, fruits, roots, extracting them from the ground with its strong front paws.

The way the kangaroo moves looks very interesting. Since the hind legs of a kangaroo are several times longer than the front ones, they do not walk or run, but only jump. At the same time, they help themselves to jump with a long, strong tail. Kangaroo is considered the most famous symbol of Australia. This animal is depicted even on the coat of arms of this country.

A distinctive feature of these animals is that on their front part of the body there is a so-called bag in which they carry their cubs.
