There are several types of kangaroo in Australia. The red kangaroo is the largest. An average-sized(平均大小的) red kangaroo stands about 1.5 metres tall, a bit shorter than an average-sized human.
The red kangaroo mainly lives in western and central Australia. It lives in groups. (83) It is active at night when it is cool and spends most of the day sleeping.
Like all kangaroos, the red kangaroo is a plant-eater. Its favorite foods are grasses and low plants. The red kangaroo’s vegetarian diet provides much of the water it needs. In fact, if it has enough food, it can go long periods without drinking water.
Although an adult red kangaroo is large, the newborn baby is tiny. After a few months of sleeping, nursing and growing in its mom’s pouch(育儿袋), the young red kangaroo begins to come out. But it hurries back to the pouch fast when it feels scared, hungry or cold. Finally, at about eight months old, the young red kangaroo gets so big that it stays out. But it stays close to its mom until it is ready to live on its own.
The red kangaroo is a good swimmer. (84) However, it is best known for its hopping(齐足跳行) abilities. The red kangaroo hops around at a speed of over 56 kilometers an hour.
