Physical features of an
organism and the way that it is built
Eyes are far apart allowing them to see beside them
and see small movements from a distance
Large tendons in hind legs as
springs to use less energy when
running from predators, giving
them the ability to jump for long
distances
Front legs are short, so the
front of the kangaroo is
lighter when hopping
Long and
strong tails
for balance
Behavioural
The way the
organism behaves and acts
Crouches in a smaller position to keep
itself from heating up in the sun
In hot weather, they lick their
paws for evaporation
In the cold, fur is used as
insulation, as well as shivering
producing heat.
Physiological
The way in which
an organism functions
Mothers can produce 2 types of milk
for the two different aged joeys.
In dry seasons, male kangaroos do
not produce sperm and females only
have children if there is enough
water for the production of
vegetation and plants.
