A standout amongst the most unmistakable of these bizarre marsupials is the kangaroo. This national image of Australia is found on the Australian escutcheon, as well as on it's money too. There are four principle sorts of kangaroo the red kangaroo, eastern dark kangaroo, western dim kangaroo, and the antilopine kangaroo.
