Brown-necked kangaroo

Eternal teeth and birth on hold

  1. The kangaroo's teeth grow throughout its life. Therefore, it is important that they receive food that helps to grind them down.

  2. When kangaroo joeys are born, they are not larger than that they can fit in a teaspoon.

  3. The flyer has a unique ability: If there is a drought and little food, she can put her fetus on "pause" and wait to give birth until there is more food available.

  4. The kangaroo mob in Knuthenborg consists of females and their offspring.
