(翻译)袋鼠

这种澳大利亚袋鼠不吃肉。

               kangaroo doesn’t eat meat．

　　The red kangaroo（袋鼠）is a famous special Australian animal. It moves by jumping on its long hind legs. Its long, heavy tail helps it keep its balance（平衡）. If it is run after, a large kangaroo can reach a speed（速度）of 40 kilometers an hour. One jump may be 8 meters long and up to 3 meters high.

　　The red kangaroo is found mainly in the dry grasslands of Australia. It usually travels in small groups. Each group has about 12 kangaroos.

　　When a baby red kangaroo is born, it weighs only 28 grams! After being born, it crawls（爬行）through the mother's fur（毛皮）to her pouch. In hard times, the mother kangaroo can stop the baby from being born till there is enough grass for her to eat.

　　The mother feeds the baby called a“joey”with milk from her body. The joey will spend at least a year in the pouch.

　　If a kangaroo is being run after and cannot ran away, it will turn and fight. It will lean back on its tail and kick with its hind legs. These legs are very, very Strong and have large claws. The front legs are used to hold, not to box with, as you often see in cartoons.

　　Kangaroos can live for up to 20 years. A kangaroo never stops growing bigger, so an old kangaroo can be very large. There are probably millions of kangaroos of all types in Australia. They are the very important food for aborigines（土著居民）
