SHANGRALA'S
KANGAROOS
AND
WALLABIES!
Australia's most famous animal is, undoubtedly, the kangaroo! It is the symbol of
the country's air-force and it is featured on the country's coat of arms as well
as its coins. The wallaby is similar to, but smaller than, a kangaroo.
Both kangaroos and wallabies are marsupial herbivores; They have powerful
hind-legs, allowing them to jump with speed and agility, and, like most marsupials
- kangaroo and wallaby females have pouches in which their young known as 'Joeys'
complete their gestation.
