__﻿What you know about kangaroos isn't the true story.__
You know how you used to always hear stories about Winnie the Pooh with Kanga and Roo? Well those cute and cuddly Kangaroos in stories aren't anything like what they are in real life. In real life kangaroos, don't live in forests or in a place with bears, pigs, rabbits, owls, tigers or tiggers and donkeys. They live in Australia.

__﻿What they eat.__
Kangaroos eat plants such as grass and flowers and leaves from trees but if there isn't anything to eat they will eat mainly everything except for meat because they are vegetarians but if they have to they will eat worms in the ground and bugs. They mainly try to eat things up high because they are at least 6 to 7 feet tall but if they have to they will bend down to get food.

__﻿Mating and fighting__
Mating is a different story. To get the girls all they (males) have to do is maybe well um... fight eachother almost to the death just to get one female. Some people say that when kangaroos fight they box, as in boxing but they don't have those big gloves they have those big feet to kick with. What male kangaroos do is they take those humungous feet, put their tails to the ground like a tripod and kick. When they kick they really kick, because when they kick they: scratch, kick, and push you with almost all of thier body weight. Whoever wins gets the female, who ever loses gets lots of injuries and isn't the top male anymore (or the alpha) he is the bottom male of the herd (or the omega). So if you go to the zoo you know why they are behind bars, because they really pack a punch!

__﻿Predator or prey?__
Definitely Prey. Th ough they pack a punch, their enemies the Dingo pack an even bigger punch. Well to the adults they are just a few chicken wings but, the babies or joey are the real chicken dinner. When young joeys can not defend themselves they have to stay inside their mother's pouch until they are ready to walk or hop. If a joey gets split up from it's mother before it can defend its self it can turn into a dingos' main course, so those babies better watch out because it's a jungle out there.

__﻿The Real Champion__
If I were to choose between a dingo and a grown kangaroo, which is more of a threat I would pick the kangaroo so if you think that they can't defend themselves and you challenge them they'll make you eat those words so if you ever need information on the cuddly yet dangerous kangaroos you now know where to look.

__**The life-span of a kangaroo**__

 * Do you know how long a kangaroo can live? Well, I certainly do and you have positivly come to the right place. A kangaroo can live up to be 15-20 years in it's natural habitat.But, when a joey or baby kangaroo is born it stays in it's mothers pouch for up to 8 months or 235 days but it continues to suckle until it is about 1 year.**
