Marsupials

the grammatical errors in this passage are intentional.

1 when people think of kangaroos, they often picture a baby kangaroo 1peeking out of its mothers’ pouch. animals that carry their young in pouches are a kind of mammal called a marsupial. although the kangaroo is probably the most well known, 2there are many others that live in various parts of the world. kangaroos live in australia and come in many sizes. wallabies are the smallest and are about the size of a rabbit. 3large kangaroos may way as much as 200 pounds and may reach a height of seven feet. baby kangaroos are called joeys and are only about an inch long when they are born. 4a joey may live, and develop in its mother’s pouch for as long as 6 months. kangaroos live in groups called mobs. they are basically very timid animals and 5exscape from their enemies by jumping away on their strong and powerful hind legs. they are vegetarians with sharp teeth to eat grasses and foliage close to the ground.

2 6the only marsupial that lives in the united states is the opossum. opossums range from canada to south america. they hang from trees by their long scaly tails. baby opossums are about the size of a small bee and are born before they are fully developed. the mother’s pouch protects a baby opossum for about two months as it grows and develops. after that, it clings to her back for several more weeks. another marsupial, the bandicoot, lives in australia and new guinea. bandicoots can be as large as a rabbit or as small as a mouse. most marsupials have 7pouches that open at the top but the bandicoot’s pouch opens at the bottom.

3 the cuscus lives in new guinea, indonesia, and northern australia. it is about the size of a house cat and is 8covered with fur to the tip of its coarse, scaly tale. the cuscus is a nocturnal animal and lives in trees.

4 tasmania is an island south of australia and is 9the home of two marsupials the wombat and the tasmanian devil. some people think that wombats make good pets. they are about three feet long and live in borrows. as nocturnal vegetarians, they feed at night on leaves, roots, and vegetables. tasmanian devils, on the other hand, are savage and do not make good pets. they resemble small bears, and they kill and eat other animals.

5 10although marsupials are alike in carrying their young in an external pouch, they are different in many ways. their habitats, their size, their eating habits, and their personalities are different. even so, marsupials are some of the most interesting animals in the world.

they are about three feet long and live in borrows.
