FIRST POST OF 7th GRADE! KANGAROOS!

KANGAROOS

          Did you know that baby kangaroos (joeys) are born when they are not fully grown? When they are first born they are about the size of a bean. They are hairless and blind! They don’t go into the mothers pouch right away. They have to slowly inch their way up the mothers belly and into the pouch. You may be asking, “How can they do this? They’re blind!” In fact they are born with a natural instinct! The baby joeys stay in the pouch for about eight months (it mostly depends on the species!) Sometimes another baby kangaroo would be in the pouch at the same time. The mother is able to produce enough milk for both of them! After all that did you know that a kangaroo can grow up to be around eight feet tall? In conclusion I think kangaroos are very fascinating animals. Who new that when they were first born they were only the size of a bean!
