*~ ZOOLYMPIX Station 2: Kanga Roo A-Hop ~*

Another early morning.. had to be at the Zoo by 8.30am for the briefing~

A few fun facts about Kangaroos!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The actual meaning of "kangaroo" is "I don't understand"
When European explorers first saw these strange hopping animals, they asked a native Australian (aborigine) what they were called and he replied "kangaroo". The explorers thought that was the name of the animal.

The joey of a Grey Kangaroo is born 1 inch long!
It stays in its mummy's pouch for 300 days or more~

Setting up our Station at the Australian Outback


We're ready! Come and challenge to ROOs!


Caught a little wallaby on the other side of the path


"I lick my feet & chest when i feel warm"

By the end of the 8-day Zoolympix, this was our Hall of Fame. Can u believe a child could jump 2.39m?! In 2nd place was a girl maybe 1.4m tall and she did 1.9m at her first jump! O_O *embarassed*
We decided to "fight-it-out" among ourselves too! With the exception of Vanessa (also a child) who got herself a spot on OUR hall of fame too!


Who jumps further? the ROOs? the children? or the adults?
