THE GIANT KANGAROO. One of the most interesting of mammals is tlie Kangaroo, a typical Pouched Animal, which is also pote^orthy for the disproportionate size and strength of its hind limbs. When moving about on all fours, grazirig,-it,presents an awkward appearance, but it mikes rapid progression by great bounds, using its powerful hind limbs only, after the inanner of a Jerboa, When the Kangaroo is at rest it often assumes a perfectly upright position; the tail'aiding the two hind legs to form a sort of supporting tripod for the body. When two of these animals iight, which sometimes happens, the weak fore paws prove only ineffective weapons, but the Kangaroo can inflict severe wounds with the sharp claws of its powerful hind feet, sustaining itself meanwhile upon its tail. (Macropus giganteus.) (578)
