Difference Between Kangaroos And Horses

When you think of a kangaroo and a horse, you probably think of two completely different animals. Surprisingly though, these two animals are very similar. Do not get me wrong, they are also very different. One main way they differ is the way they reproduce, kangaroos are known as marsupials and horses are known as placental animals. Most of their similarities and differences consist their structure, the way they live, and where they live.
First off, kangaroos and horses are very different. The way they reproduce is one major difference. Kangaroos young come out not fully developed, their young then lives in the mother's pouch until it is fully developed. On the other hand, horses give live birth to a fully developed offspring. Another

difference, between the two, is that kangaroos hop on two legs and use their tough tail as an extra leg, also known as a bipedal macropods. While horses walk on four legs, and are known as quadrupeds.The last difference between the marsupial and placental.
Despite the differences between kangaroos and horses, they both have a lot in common. For example, they both are herbivores, which means they eat vegetation. Also, they both live in small groups. These mammals like to live in groups for protection and so some can relax and eat while some are on watch. When they are in a group, they are called a herd. These bipedal macropods and quadrupeds are similar in where they live. They, for the most part, live in grasslands. Lastly, both kangaroos and horses can swim fairly well.
To sum it up, kangaroos and horses have many differences and similarities. Their similarities and differences include the way they reproduce, their structure, and their environment. Although you may think all mammals are very similar, there are many different types, such as, marsupials, placentals, and monotreme. Over all, kangaroos and horses are very similar while at the same time very different.
