This depends upon the species of kangaroo.  The small rat-kangaroo, which can weigh less than half a kilogram (1 lb.), to red kangaroos, which can weigh more than 80 kilograms (175 lbs.).

The closest elatives to the kangaroo rats are other members of the family Heteromyidae such as the genera Chaetodipus and Perognathus.  The closest relative to the heteromyids are the pocket gophers (family Geomyidae).  Beyond that the relationships to other rodents is poorly known and certainly distant.\n\nThere are other rodents that look like kangaroo rats but are not particularly related.  Examples are the jerboas and jumping mice (Dipodidae), the springhare or springhaas (genus Pedetes, family Pedetidae), and various muroid rodents (gerbils, jirds, a few nesomyids, etc.).  If you want an image, just google image whichever of these terms applies.

Kangaroos are found in Austrailia.  If I remember correctly they are grassland animals, and they fill the same ecological niche as deer.

no.  a stomach is not a simple pouch to hold stuff.  your kids' gonna be fed IV-wise until it's old enough for a transplant.  do they even HAVE stomach transplants?

As everybody else has said, they're the Marsupials. Marsupial is a term derived from the Latin word "marsupium" which in turn derives from the Greek "marsippion", diminutive of "marsippos" ="pouch" or "purse". \n\nAs a side note, not all marsupials have well-developed pouches like the ones we're used to see in kangaroos. For instance, the pouch of the opossums (genus Didelphis) is small, and when the young are a little grown, they travel on the mother's back, wrapping their prehensile tails on the tail of the mother. Like this:\nhttp://www.scsc.k12.ar.us/2005outwest/Projects/Deciduous%20Forest/Images/1aopossum.jpg\nOther marsupials only develop ventral folds at the sector of the belly where their nipples are, and the young are attached and partially protected there.

It's just fat, I'm afraid.\n\nHere's the evidence, courtesy of Yahoo! (see source):\n\n'It's not a water tank at all -- it's actually a giant mound of fat that can weigh up to 80 pounds. The hump has a reason for being there -- it allows the camel to survive for up to two weeks without food, an essential skill for the desert-dwelling animals.'

It is called coryphagia (or similar, not sure spell check will get it) and it is due to a couple of possible reasons.  One is their incredible ability to smell can actually scent nutrients left in scat of wild animals and other dogs, or even in their own excrement.  Two has to do with the instinctive role as predators.  By ingesting waste from other animals, they may be able to mask or alter the scent of their natural wastes, thus aiding them in hiding their presence in an area.  Three, the dog may have some sort of nutritional imbalance it is looking to rectify in this way.  This may also be indicated by eating of plant leaves, which tends to indicate the dog senses something wrong in its digestive tract.\n\nAnd the final possible reason....dogs can be strange and gross and this is right up their with their obsessive licking of their genitals!  Now come over here and give sweet woogums a big sloppy kiss!

I live in Australia and it's quite common. Not common in the way beef and chicken is but it's easy to get. It is very tasty if prepared right and very very very lean as kangaroos are all muscle. Just wait until you eat croc, now that's strange! Enjoy

I certainly wouldn't eat grubs, that's just revolting, but as for the kangaroo's testicle, I might have a go, I've never eaten one from any species and have no reason to believe it would taste any different from the rest of the animal's flesh. I could understand why a bloke wouldn't want to though.

It digests food. The stomach doesn't do as much digesting as the small intestine.

Actually, amarsupials are mammals. They are a sub group just as is the other group that includes the platapus and echidna (can't remember the name of this group).\n\nThe difference is that the young is succled in a pouch. \n\nThey are born alive, not in egg, they are warm blooded, as all mammals do/are.

First, it's full of Australians. Okay, sorry. Bad joke.\nAustralia is unique in many ways. Because of its isolation, plant and animal life has taken a different direction than on the other continents. Animals, such as the kangaroo, have evolved in Australia, but are found nowhere else. Ditto plants. It is also unique in that the centre is almost barren. Over 90 per cent of Australians live on the perimeter of their island continent, \nand only a few live inland. This is quite different from the population distribution on any other continent.

In most animals, the main job of the stomach is to break down large fat molecules into smaller ones, so that they can be absorbed into the intestines more easily.\n\n1. The frog has feeble, practically useless teeth unlike humans who use their teeth for mastication in digestion.\n\n2. Solid wastes from the frog's large intestine pass into the cloaca where both liquid and solid waste material leave the body by way of the cloaca and the cloacal vent.In humans liquid waste leave the body by way of the urethra. while solid waste leaves the body by way of the rectum through the anus.
