Thousands species of animals form part of the great diversity of the world. Some are endangered species; others are widely proliferating. As a pet lover, I consider the animals as my friends or family members. Once, while watching the animals around us, one thing comes to my mind: “if I were an animal, what will I be? “.

Perhaps a Kangaroo…some of its capabilities such as jumping higher in crossing the river and passing through a slope land are awesome. This species has an open-pocket on its front, near the stomach. If I am Kangaroo, I can store a food on it or use it as protector of the family member from the enemy. It also uses its active hearing to avoid wising him by other animals. The kangaroo had a thick skin and sometimes rough feathers to protect itself from cold places. According to recent fossil evidence, kangaroos probably originated in what is now North America.

If I were a kangaroo, I will play at the top of the mountains and jump to and fro in a matter of seconds. I also stand with two feet unlike other animals using four feet in walking and running. The young of kangaroos are born very early in their development and finish their growth while nursing from a teat in their mother’s pouch. For me, this ability of a kangaroo shows its caring and protective attitude towards its offspring in the same manner parents give importance to their child’s growth and development.
