TextKangaroo Kicks
Don’t ever get in a boxing ring with a kangaroo.
They are expert fighters, and you wouldn’t
stand a chance! Young male kangaroos, known
as jacks, spend hours jumping and fighting each
other. They duke it out with punching, stand-up
wrestling, and sometimes hard kicks. Kangaroos
often fight over mates and territory.
More About Kangaroos
Kangaroos are native to Australia’s grasslands. But
sometimes they’ll visit parks and golf courses too.
Kangaroos jump, hop, or bounce because their hind
legs move together. However, when swimming, their
legs can move independently.
