Kangaroos give birth to underdeveloped babies, so the young stay in their mother’s pouch for
about 8 months to grow strong. Even after leaving the pouch, they continue to stay with their mother
for about a year.

The Red Kangaroo lives throughout Australia and is an important animal, almost a symbol of the country.

This past July, these special Red Kangaroos found a new home at Seoul Grand Park.Please join us in wishing for the health and well-being of our new friends.
