Hopping Along
I know mostly every kid in the world has at least one favorite animal or living thing. I know my favorite is the one that hops through the plains, the kangaroo. Any type kangaroo in the world is my favorite. Well, now I’m going to tell you a little about kangaroos and why I like them.
The first of three reasons why I like kangaroos is since the babies are called Joeys. According to the experts at National Geographic,” Young kangaroos, called Joeys, quickly dive for the mother’s pouch.” I think it’s pretty cool that when a baby kangaroo is born it is called a Joey.
Now the second reason why I like kangaroos is because they are marsupials. “ The Red Kangaroo is the world’s largest marsupial.” says National Geographic. My Opinion of marsupials is that it’s cool how while the mother is hopping around, the joey gets to sit in the pouch.
The third and final reason of why I like kangaroos is since they hop everywhere they go. “The Gray Kangaroo hop along on their powerful hind legs at high speeds.” says the experts at National Geographic.
Kangaroos are an endangered species so we need to make sure nothing happens to them. The only location where kangaroos can be found is in Australia. So, if they die out there, there will be no more kangaroos anywhere. What will you do? It’s not up to me, it’s all up to you.
