Kangaroo live everywhere in Australia. It is a national symbol of Australia . How did this lovely animal get its name?
In the 18th century when James Cook, a famous British explorer, was in Australia, he saw the animal for the first time. He asked a local man what it was in English. The man answered in therir language, "Kangaroo."It meant"I don't understand you." But Cook thought it was the name of the animal.The name "kangaroo"has been used since then.
