1. What do we think of when someone talks about Australia ? Kangaroos, of course ! There is an interesting story about how these animals got their names. Captain James Cook was a famous eighteenth century Englishman. When he landed in Australia, he saw a group of strange animals. Pointing to one of them, he asked an Australian native, what it was called. “Kangaroo, “answered the man, which, in his native language, meant “I don’t know” !
2. Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that baby kangaroos are carried by the mother in a pocket of skin, which is on the lower half of her body. And these babies when they are bom, are each only about two centimetres long !
