THE KANGAROO
Project about an Australian Animal
DESCRIPTION
They have a long tail that they use for balancing while jumping.
The kangaroo's face has a snout and they look a lot like a camel! They have large, sharp pointy ears and fur that is usually a reddish / brownish colour. It is soft to touch!
They have two eyes on each side of their face so that they can see sideways as well as in front.
The females have a pouch to carry their young.
MOVEMENT
Sometimes if they're moving slowly or eating, kangaroos will use their four legs. This is called "crawl-walking".
The kangaroo uses its long tail to balance itself when it is jumping.
FEEDING
Kangaroos drink very little water and can go without water for months.
HABITAT
The climate also changes from dry and hot places to wet and colder areas.
REPRODUCTION
A baby kangaroo is called a joey and it can live in the mother's pouch for up to 1 year.
