Question

adaptions of kangaroo..​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Structural Adaptations.

Kangaroos have very large tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs" the springing motion uses less energy that running foes so kangaroos are able to jump for long distances. Kangaroos have very long and strong tails for balance.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The kangaroo lives out in open country. They have a mode of travel that is perfectly adapted for this open habitat. They jump! This is called saltatory locomotion. With huge back feet and a long tail as a counter balance, kangaroos can jump up to thirty feet in a single leap. They are built to jump. Kangaroos can also move quickly from side to side. They are very agile, but they cannot jump backward because of their thick, muscular tail. Their long feet and heavy tail also make walking very difficult, forward or backward.

Kangaroos also are able to go for long periods of time without water. They can do this because their digestive tract is able to reabsorb every drop of water from the foods they eat.

Another interesting physical adaptation is that kangaroos are marsupials so the females carry the “joeys” in a pouch on the front of their abdomen (belly). Newborns weigh less than 1/10 of an ounce at birth and have to crawl up into their mother’s pouch to nurse and grow. They will stay in their mother’s pouch for 8 months to a year. All these adaptive traits (which are physical adaptations) help the kangaroo survive in the arid climate and open spaces of the Australian outback.
