The arms of a Kangaroo are very small and do not have thumbs, but they are very strong. The legs of a Kangaroo are very powerful and their feet are very large. The size of their feet allows them to leap very high up. They have tendons that are elastic that help them perform amazing movements. Unlike humans the Kangaroo has four toes on each foot. The tail is very long and thick which helps them balance. There are a few muscles in the tail that allow them to use it in different ways . ]]> 2016-12-13 15:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/1026243288/p7tfjw45c6z5/wish/143387959 1026243288 https://padlet.com/1026243288/p7tfjw45c6z5/wish/143390055 Kangaroos reproduce in the same way as possums do.
