A baby kangaroo is called a joey. There are four different kinds of kangaroos. Their names are Gray, Red, Tree and Rat kangaroo. They have short front paws and their tails help them keep their balance when they leap. They can weigh as much as 500 pounds.
All kangaroos have soft woolly fur and sharp nails on both their front and hind legs.
Only females have pouches to carry their young. They can live up to 23 years in the wild. They are marsupials. Another name for a kangaroo is a wallaby. My Beanie Baby is Pouch the Kangaroo.
