Kangaroo Craft

A kangaroo is an animal. It is a kind of mammal. It belongs to the genus Macropus. It is common in Australia and can also be found on nearby islands. Kangaroos hop to move around quickly, and walk on four legs while moving slowly.

They cannot walk backwards but they can hop or jump as far as about three times their own height. They can also swim if necessary. The kangaroo is a herbivore, eating mainly grass, but some species also eat shrubs.

Kangaroos are marsupials because they carry their young in special pouch on their bodies. Baby kangaroos are called joeys.

Because it is mostly found in Australia, Australians see it as a national symbol. The kangaroo is featured holding the Australian coat of arms. The Australian airline, Qantas, uses the kangaroo as its emblem. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also a has a kangaroo emblem.
