what are kangaroos called
Kangaroos stand between five and six feet (1.5 meters to 1.8 meters) tall from their feet to their long, pointed ears. They weigh between 50 and 120 pounds (23 kilograms to 55 kilograms). Male kangaroos are taller and heavier than female kangaroos. What Are Baby Kangaroos Called? Baby kangaroos are called joeys. How cute is that? Female kangaroos usually only have one joey at a time. Mother kangaroos have special pouches on the fronts of their bodies for carrying their joeys in. Straight after they've been born, the tiny joey climbs up its mother's fur to reach her pouch.
