Red Kangaroo

The Red Kangaroo has a pouch, that, we all know that. Most of us are aware that it is a marsupial as well. But do you know that a baby kangaroo is, at first, smaller than a cherry? Also they can grow sizes up to 3.5 to 5.5 feet and they can weigh up to 200 lbs. No wonder they're so jumpy! Also, they sometimes have fights to see who's the BOSS.

It's color varies from grey to white, and has residence in the Mekong River from which it gets its name.

Red & Green Macaw

Red & Green Macaws like most parrots visit cliffs where they eat bits of clay and other minerals that help with digestion. These Macaws eat lots of foods that include toxins. They grow up to 3 feet, and they regularly eat a variety of fruits, nuts and seeds. They are very colorful, and I honestly think they should be called Red and Blue Macaws.



Clydesdale

A Clydesdale is basically a type of draught horse that were originated in a town in Scotland called Clydesdale. They are commonly 5 to 6 feet tall, and weigh up to 2200 pounds. They are typically normal horses but with the addition of long, shaggy fur that covers the area near their hooves. Since they are a breed, they are mostly used for horseplay.

Gray Wolf

     The Gray Wolf is one of the closest ancestors to a dog. Their size can be up to 6 feet long and their weight, up to 170 lb. These perfect predators may be perfect and predators, but sadly, they are currently endangered because they served as a threat to livestock and also because hunters were shooting them down.
