Australia is a country of many interesting animals. One of these is the kangaroo. It looks like a giant rabbit. It has big strong hind legs(后腿) and a very thick tail. Its forelimbs(前肢) are quite weak and small. Kangaroos also have big ears which help them hear well.
Kangaroos don’t walk. Instead they use their legs to hop(齐足跳行) about. They can hop very high, over three meters at times.
Baby kangaroos are born very small. They are smaller than a child’s little finger. The mother kangaroo has a pouch(育儿袋) on her stomach. Baby kangaroos live in their mother’s pouch. Kangaroos spend the day sleeping. At night they are busy looking for food. They mostly eat plants.

Today I visited the zoo with several classmates. We went on foot. It was half an hour’s walk. When we got there, the zoo was already full of people. There are many animals in the zoo. They were very interesting, but we were especially (尤其,特别地) interested in monkeys. They made all kinds of faces and we talked with some foreign guests in English. It was time for lunch when we got home. I really had a wonderful time today.
