The movement of animals

in #kangaroo8 years ago

Animal locomotion, in ethology, is any of a variety of movements or methods that animals use to move from one place to another.

Some modes of locomotion are (initially) self-propelled, e.g., running, swimming, jumping, flying, hopping, soaring and gliding.download.jpg

In such cases, kangaroos resort to an alternative method of locomotion, sometimes called "crawl-walking," that entails moving their hind feet forward while using their tails and front limbs to support their bodies.

Reasons for animals to Move

Some animals travel relatively short distances to find food or more favorable living or breeding conditions.Most animals that migrate do so to find food or more livable conditions. Some animals migrate to breed. The Atlantic Salmon begins its life in a river and migrates downstream to the ocean.

Taste of kangaroo

I would say that kangaroo tastes like a cross between venison and buffalo meat. It has a wonderful gamey taste that adds a lot of flavor without being overpowering… perhaps because roos live in the wild and feed on grass and shrubs. The texture of the meat is not quite as dry as deer but it's leaner than buffalo.

How dangerous is a kangaroo?

Their hind legs can disembowel opponents such as other kangaroos or other animals so they should be considered dangerous to people on foot, especially if they are approaching the animal too closely or scare it by accident. ... Kangaroos can be very dangerous to men.

And surprisingly well, too. The photo below is all real. It shows a big male Eastern Grey Kangaroo swimming in water about 20 feet deep. ... Kangaroos use their powerful back legs when they swim, not in a jumping movement but more of a dog-paddle movement.
