I . Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:-: The kangaroo is found only in Australia. There are some 50 living species distributed throughout the continent. Some are no bigger than rabbits and some can even climb trees. It is the red kangaroo that is famous as Australia’s national symbol. A full grown male kangaroo stands taller than a man. His tail is often called his ‘third leg’. His huge hind legs can send him sailing over a nine-foot fence with ease. A twitch of his tail can break a man’s leg like a matchstick. Female kangaroos have a pouch, which is basically a fold of skin with a single opening. A new born kangaroo is less than an inch long and is not ready for the world.
