When a red kangaroo is hopping at full speed across the dry, open grasslands of Australia, it takes 40 foot leaps and travels at 40 miles per hour Imagine seeing a mob of 100 kangaroos racing across the desert! Hot! A male kangaroo is called a boomer. It stands 6 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. A female kangaroo is called a flyer, and she is smaller than a male. |
