Kangaroo Wallpapers | Top Kangaroo Backgrounds

The first thing that comes to mind whenever someone talks about Australia is kangaroos which are best known for keeping their babies in a pouch-like structure attached to their bodies. Kangaroos possess a pair of robust hind limbs and long feet, which are best suited for making long jumps. In comparison to cattle, kangaroos possess a single-chambered stomach that is used to digest dense vegetation and related plant matter. All kangaroos are herbivores, but the food item they eat may differ from one another. For instance, the red kangaroo depends entirely on shrubs, whereas grey kangaroos depend entirely on grasses and leaves.

An interesting fact about kangaroos is that they do not secrete methane gas during digestion like most sheep, goats, and cows. Instead, kangaroos convert hydrogen items into acetate, which is then manipulated as an energy source. When more than 2 kangaroos live together, they are called mobs, troupes, or courts. The formation of mobs is significant in a manner that it ensures complete protection to the weak kangaroos who can’t protect themselves from external attacks and variations. Nose sniffing and touching are common ways that new members are wholeheartedly welcomed into the group. When the estrous period starts, female members of kangaroos start attracting male members by portraying various signs and hints. The Male follows the signals and follows her to the safest place where successful copulation could take place.

One of the fascinating things about kangaroos is that they are remarkable fighters, and they exhibit their fighting behavior whenever required. Dominant males often undergo ritualized fights that start all of a sudden and then end within a shorter period. Whereas smaller males are involved in small fights mainly associated with the access to drinking slots or to a female kangaroo they want to mate with. Fighting starts with scratching and ends peacefully without damaging each other.
