The Kangaroo: Symbol of Australia

The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia and one of the most recognizable animals in the world. This marsupial is known for its powerful hind legs that allow it to make high jumps across the vast Australian landscape. There are several species of kangaroos, ranging from the small tree kangaroo to the imposing red giant kangaroo. The female carries her young, known as a joey, in the pouch on her belly. This unique way of raising young makes the kangaroo a fascinating animal.
