Kangaroo **by:Barbara Mello** One type of animal native to Indonesia is a Kangaroo. They have powerful hind legs that help them escape from predators. Th ey also have long, muscular tails that can knock out a predator. Their heads are actually small compared to their large bodies. Some kangaroos are found in New Guinea. One predator of the Kangaroo is a Dingo.

A baby kangaroo is called a Joey, and stays in a sack called a marsupium until they are 8 months old. Groups of kangaroos are called mobs. FACT
They will flee into the water if in danger. If the predator goes into the water, the kangaroo will push it down with its legs causing it to drown. In July 2011 a male red kangaroo attacked a 94 year old women and her son in their backyard. It was put down later after the attack.Male kangaroos sometimes “box” against each other for dominance.“Kangaroo Crossing” signs are placed all over Australia.
