One more view and I will have completed a goal!

     I love completing goals on my list!! Originally the list was supposed to be a list of 100, but I've done a lot of them and then thought of more to make. It's a really good thing to do to keep busy or whatever. Anyways, that seems like it could have turned into a boring rant, you don't know much about kangaroos do you? Well, you will now! lol
           Your kangaroo facts:

• The aboriginal word for kangaroo was gangurru, that was used to describe the Grey Kangaroo
• An adult male kangaroo is referred to as a buck, jack, or boomer.
• Adult female kangaroos are called doe, flyer, or Jill
• Baby kangaroos are called joeys.
• The name "kangaroo" is used openly to describe all species within the super-family of macropods.
• The species is grouped into two groups:  

     Group one (Macropodidae): include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, tree kangaroos, and forest wallabies.
     Group two (Potoroidae): include rat kangaroos, potoroos, and bettongs.

• It is an urban myth that the word kangaroo means "I don't know" or "I don't understand"
• A group of kangaroos is called a mob.
• The word "roos" is a colloquial word used to refer to all kangaroos and/or wallabies
• Kangaroos don't live in just Australia, several species of kangaroos and wallabies live in places such as; New Guinea, Hawaii, Great Britain, and New Zealand.
• At least 6 species of macropods have become extinct since Europeans arrived in Australia, and several more are endangered.
• Kangaroos are the only large animals that move by hopping
• Kangaroos cannot move backwards
• All macropods have large feet and strong legs, but only tree kangaroos have strong front legs, yet they have smaller hind legs compaired to other macropods.
• Their tail is used for balance when hopping, which makes for a fifth limb.
• On land kangaroos cannot move their hind legs independently, but when swimming (which they are good at) they can kick each leg individually.
• All kangaroos are herbivores
• Red kangaroos can go without water all together as long as they have fresh green grass. But otherwise, the whole kangaroo species doesn't need much water because they have adapted to such dry lands.
• Macropods are nocturnal
• Macropods have complex stomachs much that of a cow, and most even regurgitate their food like cow do.
• Only the one dominate male (usually the biggest and oldest) is allowed to mate with the females of the mob.
• Like all marsupials, baby kangaroos are born after 31 to 36 days of gestation, compaired to humans, that would be the 7th week of pregnancy.
• When joeys are born they are about the size of a hairless worm, only their front legs are developed enough for them to crawl up to the pouch.
