Kangaroo's on Kangaroo Island

We saw many 'roos on the island, the highlight was this mum and her joey - they came right up to the van to have a look what was going on before hopping off.

Did you know how kangaroos got their name?

A white settler saw one and asked an aboriginal guy what it was called, he said 'Kangaroo' which actually means 'I don't understand' in the language he used. The white settler thought the guy had said the name of the animal and its name stuck.
