Springy legs hop ... Thick tail bounces ... Meet the kangaroo! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Kangaroos treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous Australian mammal. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the marsupial's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a kangaroo tale from the Aboriginal people of Australia adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
