Forward, kangaroos can reach a high speed up to 70 kilometres per hour. Kangaroos are also mammals, baby kangaroos are called Joey and can only weigh 1 gram at birth. This is because the kangaroo has a gestation period of one month and a baby kangaroo looks like a small worm of 2 centimetres at birth. The further development happens in his mother's pouch. After about 9 months 'Joey' is too big to stay in his mother's pouch and moves into the world.
