The Story of Kangaroo

There is a story about the word kangaroo.

When British people came to Australia for the first time, an English man asked a child, “What is the name of this animal?” The child said, “Kangaroo.”

The story says kangaroo means “I don’t know.” But this is not true!

The word kangaroo comes from the word gangurru. This is a word from the Far North Queensland people in Australia. It means black kangaroo.

So, kangaroo does not mean “I don’t know” or “I don’t understand.”
