When European explorers first saw these strange hopping animals, they asked a native Australian (aborigine) what they were called. He replied "kangaroo" meaning "I don't understand" your question. The explorers thought this was the animal's name. And that's how the kangaroo got its name.
A male kangaroo is called a boomer.
A female kangaroo is called a flyer.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey.
A female kangaroo is called a flyer.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey.
The 6 month-old joey (baby kangaroo) just left his mother's pouch for the very first time.
The joey was extremely tired and sleepy after being disturbed by so many visitors today.
Aww, they're really lovely and tame.
They look similar to kangaroos but smaller in size, so I assume its a different breed of kangaroo? Please correct me if I'm wrong...
