Question

    There are forty ­seven different kinds of kangaroos(袋鼠). The smallest kangaroos are about a quarter of a metre long; the biggest ones are taller than a man.

Kangaroos have very long strong back legs. These are used for jumping. They also have long strong tails(尾巴) used for resting（休息）on. Kangaroos' front legs are much shorter, and are almost like arms. Kangaroos' heads are quite small, but their ears are quite large.
