Kangaroo Twin Birth

A rare species of tree kangaroo twins were born at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, Nebraska last month.  Matschie’s tree kangaroos Milla and her mate Noru were the parents of the new born twin joeys.  The twins were found by the Nebraska zookeepers in Milla’s puch last month.  The joeys are expected to be showing their heads or feet as early as May.

Dr George Wilson, an Australian scientist, suggested a solution to save the world.  Despite eating beef or mutton, you can choose to eat kangaroo.  What is so special about kangaroo?  The fact is kangaroo don’t fart like cows or sheep.  As the digestive system of kangaroo is different from other animals, its fart is not consisted of methane gas, which is really harmful to the environment.  This could probably a solution to control kangaroo population as well, as you can knock down a kangaroo on the road if you drive too fast.
