That's right.

I want to thank our old colleague, Kristen Conger, for writing this article from How Stuff Works Back in the Day.

As well as Jennifer Horton wrote another article that I used.

Great, too.

Remember Jennifer?

And then...

I think the San Diego Zoo website and Nat Geo all pitched in for this one.

Yeah, so we're talking about kangaroos a little bit, mainly going to get to how and why they hop.

But we should start out by talking about the fact that roos are marsupials or pouched mammals because they have a marsupium, which is a little pouch where their little joeys develop.

Yeah, that's maybe the fact of the podcast for me.

That's kind of nutty.

What do I have to always take the fact of the show?

I mean, I know it's in my contract and not yours, but I'm willing to give every now and then.

All right.

So Australia is obviously what people, you know, what comes to mind when you think of marsupials in general, because koalas and kangaroos.

But we have done a great episode on the opossum, which live all over the place, especially north, central and South America.

But we're talking about kangaroos and wallabies here because they don't have four legs like our opossum friends.

They have two big old feet and two little littler arms.

Yeah, except boxing, probably.

The kangaroo, the first sightings apparently traced back to a Dutch merchant named Francisco Pelsert, who got shipwrecked off the coast of Australia in 1629.
