Kangaroo
A kangaroo is any of several large
macropods. There are three main species of kangaroos; the
Red Kangaroo the Eastern Grey kangaroo, and the Western
Grey kangaroo.
The Red Kangaroo
The Red Kangaroo is the largest
surviving marsupial anywhere in the world. Fewer in numbers,
the Red Kangaroos occupy the arid and semi-arid centre of the
continent. A large male Red kangaroo can be 2 metres (6 ft 6
in) tall and a large male red kangaroo can weigh 90 kg (200
lb).
The Eastern Grey Kangaroo
The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus
giganteus) is less well-known than the red kangaroo (outside of
Australia), but the Eastern Grey kangaroo is the most often
seen, as its range covers the fertile eastern part of the
continent.
The Western Grey Kangaroo
The Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus
fuliginosus) is slightly smaller again at about 54 kg (119 lb)
for a large male Western Grey Kangaroo. Western Grey Kangaroos
are found in the southern part of Western Australia, South
Australia near the coast, and the Darling River basin.
