Here is something funny i happened to read and couple of interesting facts.

When the English settlers landed in Australia , they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal. They responded with ''Kan Ghu Ru'' the English then adopted the word kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was
''we don't understand you'', '' Kan Ghu Ru".

On the Australian coat of arms the Emu and the Kangaroo were selected as symbols of Australia to represent the country progress because they are always moving forward and never move backwards.

A male kangaroo is called a buck. It is also commonly called a "boomer" or an "old man". A female kangaroo is called a doe, or a flyer. A baby kangaroo is called a joey.
