Kangaroo Facts and the Secret of Pouch Parenting — Nature Observation Picture Book
What makes a kangaroo so amazing?
With a pouch on its belly, the kangaroo is an amazing animal that raises its baby right inside that pouch. And the way it hops along is such fun to watch!
Nature and science facts about the kangaroo
The kangaroo is a marsupial that raises its baby in a pouch on its belly. The baby (a joey) is born very tiny and grows up safely drinking milk inside its mother's pouch. Instead of walking, it hops along on powerful hind legs to travel far and fast, using its thick, long tail for balance. It's a plant-eater that feeds on grass and lives in groups, and it is the animal that represents Australia.
