Kangaroos

A Kangaroos tail is very important to them for their daily activities. They need their tails to balance, so if you were to hold their tail down they wouldn't be able to balance or hop. Scientist call the Kangaroos tail "a third leg." Their tails are as long as their bodies and extremely strong. A kangaroos tail is so strong that it can put all its body weight on the tail and the tail would be able to supposrt the weight. When the kangaroo is grazing and foraging it uses three things, the two legs and the tail. It first uses all three of them and when they're ready they kick the two feet up together in the air and then swings them. Kangaroos do not have knee caps but the tibia bone of the Kangaroo has pads of shock-absorbing fibrous cartilage.
