ANIMALS AND THEIR BODIES

Tree kangaroos are related to the kangaroo, but they look different and behave
differently. First of all, as the name suggests, they live in trees. They can be found in the
rainforests of Australia and Papua New Guinea. They are slow on the ground but move
fast in the trees. Their sharp claws and long tails help them to stay safe. Tree kangaroos,
like their cousins, can jump very well. They sometimes jump up to 10 metres between
trees. They are also marsupials.

Kangaroo rats are not related to the kangaroo at all. They look like rats or mice, but they
are not related to them either. Kangaroo rats live in underground burrows in the desert of
North America. They eat seeds, which they collect at night. They have adapted to the
desert climate so well that they don’t have to drink water at all. They get it from the
seeds they eat. So why are they called kangaroo rats? It’s probably because of their
strong back legs and the fact that they jump quite well.
