Kangaroos are large marsupials that are found only in Australia. They are identified by their muscular tails, strong back legs, large feet, short fur and long, pointed ears. Like all marsupials, a sub-type of mammal, females have pouches that contain mammary glands, where their young live until they are old enough to emerge.
Кенгуру большие сумчатые, которые находятся только в Австралии. Они идентифицируются по их мышечным хвостам, сильным задним ногам, большие ноги, короткая шерсть и длинные, заостренные уши. Как и все сумчатые, суб-виды млекопитающих, у самок есть мешочки, которые содержат молочные железы, где их младенец питается там же, пока он не станут достаточно взрослым.
