Kangaroo mothers have pouches (育儿袋) to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. The government even wants to put them on passports (护照).
There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country! Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them. To help the farmers, the Australian Government kills some kangaroos each year.
