In Australia, kangaroos are one of the most famous animals. They are large animals with strong legs and a long tail. They use their legs to jump and move quickly. Kangaroos live in open areas like grasslands and forests. They eat grass and plants. Baby kangaroos, called joeys, stay in their mother's pouch for a few months before they are big enough to jump on their own. Many tourists visit Australia to see kangaroos in the wild.
