Meet the Animals _ Marsupials _ Red Kangaroo _ Stories for Kindergarten

Little Fox Meet the animals. Red Kangaroo Hi there! Who are you? I'm a red kangaroo. Red kangaroos are marsupials. Female marsupials carry their babies in pouches. Where do you live? Red kangaroos live in Australia. We like open grasslands and deserts. He's called a joey. Joeys sometimes come out to explore. After 10 months, they leave the pouch forever. What do you eat? Red kangaroos eat grass and leaves. We can last for several days without water. Do kangaroos really box? Male kangaroos often fight with their front paws. They also kick with their back legs. Do you have any enemies? Wild dogs called dingoes hunt us. We stomp our feet when danger is near. Your feet are long. Our feet are very strong, too. They help us jump far. Red kangaroos can jump up to 12 meters. Uh-oh! I see a dingo! Good day!
