Modern 

Major

Kangaroo

I am the very model of the modern major kangaroo
I have a pouch, I have big ears, and I also have large legs too
I am from a land called Australia, and millions of 'roos call it home
It's usually among the fields and grasslands that we like to roam
My legs are very ginormous and I use them to hop around
Sometimes I take a tiny leap, and other times a giant bound
Almost 40 miles an hour is a top speed that I can keep
And I can easily jump up to 25 feet with one leap
And she can easily jump up to 25 feet with one leap
And she can easily jump up to 25 feet with one, with one leap
I am a marsupial and my baby grows inside a pouch
When he grows up I have to teach him to sit up straight and not slouch
In short, because I have a pouch and have big ears and large legs too
I am the very model of the modern major kangaroo
In short, because she has a pouch and have big ears and large legs too
She is the very model of the modern major kangaroo
My kingdom's Animalia and my phylum is Chordata
Mammalia is my class, Infraclass: Marsupialia
Diprotodontia is my order, family: Macropodidae
Macropus is my genus (Crikey, that was difficult to say!)
There are three main species of kangaroos the are around today
The largest of us is red, there's also western and eastern gray
A group of us is called a mob, and sometimes we are called a court
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly, silly sort
Male kangaroos are known as bucks, they're also called boomers and jacks
Females are usually called does, flyers, and jills
(wow, how about that)
