kangaroos
Pouched Australian leapers
Kangaroos is the plural of kangaroo, the large marsupial native to Australia known for powerful hind legs, a long tail, and a pouch for carrying young.
The animals move by hopping and can cover great distances at speed.
Kangaroos bounded across the road at dusk.
Kangaroo appears in compounds like kangaroo court, an unofficial tribunal that ignores proper procedure.
