Kangaroos are marsupials unique to Australia. They are widely distributed in many areas of mainland Australia and Papua New Guinea.
There are 14 members of the order Kangaroo in the family Kangarooidae. Their characteristics are relatively obvious and easy to distinguish. Among them, there are super-large red kangaroos weighing more than 200 kilograms, and small kangaroos weighing about 40 kilograms.

Collectively exclusive kangaroo family
Kangaroos are a typical group of xenophobic animals. Although seemingly harmless to humans and animals, kangaroos have a big heart and get along with everyone.
However, don’t be fooled by its appearance. Kangaroos have a very strong sense of group and family. They will never accept any other animals of the same kind or other animals outside the family to integrate into them, even if they are of the same kind. Families whose members have been away from home for long periods of time can also be ostracized by them.

The grumpy kangaroo
The kangaroo is also a grumpy and rather unstable animal. Although their appearance is very cute, in this beautiful world, we must not "judge people by their appearance." Kangaroos have thick tails and powerful hind legs.
Compared to the ability of other carnivores to defeat the enemy with one move, kangaroos have very comprehensive attack methods. It has many ways of attacking other animals.It can punch with its upper limbs and kick with its hind limbs. If it cannot be beaten, it will run away quickly. This is a skill that animals don't possess, and many adult males are no match for kangaroos.

Kangaroo that can get pregnant continuously
Kangaroo has a magical behavior, the female kangaroo can get pregnant continuously. The name of the Chaosheng family is well deserved. The reason is that female kangaroos have two uteruses, one for birth and one for storing fertilized embryos. While one uterus is giving birth to a kangaroo, the other uterus begins preparing for a new embryo.
After the kangaroo baby grows up and lives independently, it leaves the kangaroo mother and another uterus begins to give birth to the kangaroo baby. If environmental conditions are right, female kangaroos can reproduce without interruption.

The numerous kangaroo family
Kangaroos are the most famous animals in Australia. Their reputation has even surpassed that of koalas or platypuses because there are so many of them. It already amounts to more than twice Australia's total population.
In 2017, the number of kangaroos exceeded 60 million, and they began to flood into cities in large numbers. People can even see kangaroos in their own backyards. Kangaroos, which are abundant and lack natural predators, have begun to eat grasslands unscrupulously, so Australia is also vigorously promoting the consumption of kangaroo meat.

Kangaroos have threatened locals and otherThe lives of other animals
The kangaroo problem has seriously threatened the safety of Australians and pets, with kangaroos often attacking locals and pets for no reason. People are often mauled by kangaroos and hospitalized.
In 2017, Debbie Urquhart, a fitness instructor in her 50s, encountered a kangaroo during her morning jog. The kangaroo jumped out of the grass. Kicked her to the ground and beat her wildly.
This fitness instructor used to think that he was in good physical condition and could easily avoid kangaroo attacks. But when she actually met a kangaroo, she realized how wrong she was. Humans look small compared to giant kangaroos. She was pulled around like a stuffed toy by the kangaroo, beaten and kicked on the ground, and finally escaped by pretending to be dead.

Kangaroos sometimes even break into houses. A few years ago, a large kangaroo broke into the home of a man named Brian Lewis in Melbourne. It grabbed Lewis's pomeranian and beat it.
In order to save his pet dog, Lewis fought with a kangaroo with a broom. However, as an adult male, he still couldn't defeat the kangaroo. The kangaroo kicked him and Lewis was taken to hospital for treatment.
And his Pomeranian was beaten to death by a kangaroo. After doing all this, the aggressive kangaroo jumped over the courtyard wall and escaped.

The kangaroo problem remains serious
Australia is known as a country riding on the back of a sheep. Grassland area is very limited. Now the kangaroos are eating the grass that should have been used to feed the sheep. Kangaroo population issues are of great concern in Australia.
Local people also began to hunt kangaroos with weapons, began to artificially control the number of kangaroos, and advocated the use of kangaroo meat as common edible meat. Although as many as 5 million kangaroos are killed each year, the environmental problems caused by kangaroos remain serious.

Summary
I think kangaroos are very cute animals on the surface, but they are collectively xenophobic, ill-tempered, and amazingly fertile creatures. Active human intervention should be carried out this morning to control their numbers to maintain ecological stability.
