Today as mommy was driving me to school, I asked her what her favorite animal was. She said her favorite animal was the kangaroo. So, I'm going to write about the kangaroo today. First, I want to find out where kangaroos live. Now to Google. This site showed me they live not only in Australia, which I already knew, but Tasmania, whereever that is. Then, I wanted to know how they got those funny pockets, which I now know are actually called pouches. We could find that, but my dad did find out where the word kangaroo comes from:
The word "kangaroo" comes from an aboriginal group’s word for the Gray Kangaroo, "gangurru." The word was first recorded as "Kangooroo or Kanguru" in 1770 by British explorer James Cook.
And now for my favorite part: the video! Let's see what we can find on YouTube.
