Kangaroos belong to the world of marsupials--mammals who give birth to their young very early and develop them in external pouches.

Varieties of kangaroos range in size from the musky rat-kangaroo (less than 1/2 a kilogram), to red kangaroos, which can weigh more than 80 kilograms. |

Resourceful creatures, thirsty red kangaroos can dig as much as 4 feet deep into the ground to find scarce water.

Able boxers, kangaroos love a fight, especially the males where it has been documented that aggression is a necessary step before they enter into friendship. Their tail also packs a whallop and is likewise used to propel their hopping distance.

In Australia, brokers also refer to stocks which endlessly fluctuate up and down as kangaroos. |
