Kangaroos



Did you know that kangaroos are the largest marsupial mammals, they also belong to the Macropodidae. A male kangaroo is called a buck, it is also commonly called a "boomer" or an "old man". A female kangaroo is called a doe or a flyer. A baby kangaroo is called a joey. Kangaroos are social animals that live in groups or "mobs" of at least two or three individuals and up to 100 kangaroos. Kangaroos have one young annually. The joey remains in the pouch for nine months and continues to suckle until twelve to seventeen months of age.
