Bindi, Jungle Girl: Kangaroo capers

Bindi with a kangaroo

If you’ve always wanted to know more about animals, Bindi Irwin is the little girl to ask. Each month, Bindi will write about a different animal and answer readers’ questions in the magazine.

Bindi loves kangaroos and wallabies, and is worried that many of them are in danger, but she has advice in our June issue about how we can help.

Pick up a copy of the June issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly to read more about kangaroos and wallabies and see below for information on how to ask Bindi your most pressing wildlife questions.

Question

What is the difference between kangaroos and wallabies?

Liam Rosen, Caloundra, Qld.

Answer

That’s a great question, Liam. Kangaroos are much bigger than wallabies and are a different colour. The other difference is that kangaroos have fine hair on their nose and wallabies don’t.
