Can kangaroos swim?





Jayho

Hi Epit
 
As Apodo said, kangaroos do not generally swim. 
 
They are said to be good swimmers but they really only swim in order to survive/escape in times of fire, flood and other danger.
 
I have seen zillions of kangaroos, including mobs at some very remote beaches, but I am yet to see a kangaroo swim. 
 
You can read more about it at these sites for students:  http://www.abc.net.au/schoolstv/animals/KANGAROOS.htm and http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/kanga.htm
 
Cheers

Another Kangaroo fact:
 
Kangaroos can �t walk in the conventional manner (left foot, right foot) because of the way their body is shaped. When moving slowly, however, kangaroos do have a form of walking. They support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along.

They can �t dance.
They can �t climb trees. (But there is one tree climbing kangaroo)
They can �t march. ( Left right, Left right.)
They can �t lay eggs. (Some Australian mammals do)
