Today I was watching an interesting show about kangaroos on TV. That gave me the idea to write you this article. The kangaroo had a chance to see only at the zoo.
When the famous British navigator Captain Cook arrived in Australia, he saw animals that did not exist anywhere else (at least in the places he visited) and wanted to know more about them, for a start - what they are called. He asked the Aborigines in English for their name, and they answered - "gangurru".
Captain Cook thought at the time that this was the name of these animals, but it is true that the word "gangurru" actually means "I don't understand" in Aboriginal. As he did not know Aboriginal language, Captain Cook accepted this name for a hitherto unknown species of animal.
The kangaroo is one of the strangest animals that adorns our planet. A female kangaroo carries a fetus for thirty-six days. At that point, the kangaroo cub is extremely underdeveloped, with the exception of the forelimbs and facial structures. Nature has taken care of that, and the reason lies in the fact that she has to climb up to her mother's nipple to start sucking. At the same time, its size is unrealistically small: it is not bigger than a bean. Immediately after she was born, she climbed to her breast and hung on to it. He will stay in his mother's bag for the next seven to ten months, when he will finally pierce his nose and discover the world. But he will not stay outside for too long until he is a year and a half old, when he will become independent.
Kangaroos behaviour is really beautiful and very funny
