hAlLiE the rOo


My name is Hallie. I am a Great Red Kangaroo and I have decided that nobody knows the true nature of  a kangaroo and as we are wonderous and beautiful mammals, and happen to live in an amazing biome, the chaparral, I want to share it. So here it is.

Here are some facts about my species:

Type-Mammal
Diet-Herbivore
Size- Head & Body 3.25 to  5.25 ft
         Tail 35.5 to 43.5 in


Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man:

When baby kangaroos are born, they are about the size of a cherry. We have strong hind legs, letting us reach speeds over 35 miles per hour. We can hop up to 25 feet in a single leap in distance and jump 6 feet high. Us girls, have a blue-ish tint to our coat and are sometimes refered to "Blue Fliers". Kangaroos are so interesting and I cannot wait to share!
