Kangaroo


My animal is a kangaroo and if i could own a kangaroo i would keep it in a big backyard. The reason i picked a kangaroo was because i think it would be cool to ride on its back. Also they can jump really far and high. Did you know that a male kangaroo is called a boomer, a female kangaroo is called a flyer and a baby kangaroo is called a joey. Have you ever wondered how the kangaroos got there name well when European explores saw a strange animal hopping around they asked a native Australian what they were called. He answered "kangaroo" meaning i dont understand your question. So the explorers thought that was its name. And thats how the kangaroo got its name. Well my animal was on a movie called Kangaroo Jack and in the movie the kangaroo steals $50,000 dollars from two friends who had to deliver the money to Mr. Smith in Australia.
