My talk is about the topic The austrailian Kangaroo. I choose this topic, cuz lots of people know Kangaroos but they know not that much of them.
Australia\'s kangaroos
Kangaroos are native to the Australian continent and to parts of New Guinea. Most species are only found in Australia. There are over 60 different species of kangaroos and their close relatives. All kangaroos belong to the super-family macropods, meaning \'great-footed\'. The macropod family includes kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, tree-kangaroos and forest wallabies. These species are also found in New Guinea. Species in the macropod family vary greatly in size and weight, ranging from 0,5 kilograms to 90 kilograms. The potoroid family of kangaroos includes the potoroos and rat-kangaroos. This family of kangaroos lives only in Australia. Kangaroos of different types live in all of the diverse areas of Australia, from cold-climate, rainforests and desert plains to tropical areas. The Red kangaroo, Eastern grey kangaroo and Western grey kangaroo are the most species and make up over 90 per cent of the commercial constancy. Their combined population size has ranged between 15 and 50 million animals over the past 20 years in the constancy areas, depending on seasonal conditions.
Life and habitat
Kangaroos are herbivorous, eating a range of plants and in some fungi. Most are nocturnal but some are active in the early morning and late afternoon. Different kangaroo species live in a range of different environments. Potoroids, for example, make nests, while tree-kangaroos live above ground in trees. Larger species of kangaroo tend to shelter under trees, in caves and rock clefts. Kangaroos of all sizes have one thing in common, powerful back legs with long feet. Most kangaroos live on the ground and are signalized from other animals by the way, they hop on their strong back legs. The kangaroo\'s tail is used to balance while hopping and as a fifth limb when they moving slowly. All female kangaroos have front-opening pouches, which contain four teats. This is where the \'joey\' or young kangaroo is raised until it can survive outside the pouch. Most kangaroos have no set breeding cycle and are able to breed all year round. Because they are such generative breeders, a kangaroo population can increase fourfold in five years if it has continuous access to copious of food and water. There is no farming of kangaroos in Australia. Kangaroos are harvested in the wild by licensed hunters.
