Kangaroo word

Meganeuropsis permiana might do if it was unleashed on the world today. Probably a lot more than just breaking fishing poles.Advertisement Propleopus oscillans Who doesn't love a kangaroo wearing boxing gloves, or, if you're more of a naturalist, a kangaroo leaping gracefully across the Australian Outback?If your knowledge of kangaroos transcends those stereotypical images, you're probably aware that the boxing gloves should go on the kangaroo's hind feet because those are the parts that really pack a punch. In fact Popular Science says there is 759 pounds of force in the kick of a red kangaroo, and never mind that the claws on the kangaroo's foot could also potentially eviscerate you (via Slate).AdvertisementAnyway, here's a fun fact — Propleopus oscillans, also called the giant rat kangaroo, lived during the Pleistocene, weighed up to 150 pounds, and probably ate meat, as per PBS, maybe even people meat, since there's a good chance that it was still around when humans arrived in Australia (via the Australian Museum). Now granted, some modern kangaroos do get that big, but they're vegetarians, so if you don't try to catch them and put boxing gloves on them you're probably safe.To be fair, Propleopus oscillans was a rat kangaroo, not an actual kangaroo. According to PBS, its closest living relative is the musky rat kangaroo, which weighs only 18 pounds. And the musky rat kangaroo doesn't hop, so it probably didn't kick with as much force as a red kangaroo. If you were imagining a predatory kangaroo hopping towards you with its mouth open, you can at least get rid of that terrifying image.Advertisement Hatzegopteryx Every person reading this thinks of Dracula when they see the word "Transylvania," because ever since Vlad the Impaler decided to punish everyone who was ever mean to him by putting their still-breathing bodies on pointy things, Transylvania has been synonymous with bloodthirsty creatures. And now, also add bloodthirsty giant pterosaurs to that list. This is really quite fitting when you consider that pterosaurs are reminiscent of huge, terrifying bats, and Dracula did like to turn into a bat occasionally.AdvertisementAccording to Earth Archives, Hatzegopteryx lived in Transylvania during the late Cretaceous and was one of the largest pterosaurs currently known to science. Not big like a condor or big like an albatross ... it was big like a giraffe and had a 40-foot wingspan. Its skull alone was 10 feet long.Hatzegopteryx could fly, but scientists think it was probably more stork-like in its habits — and not "delivers babies" stork-like, either, more like "delivers a deadly blow with its giant, giant jaw" stork-like. It preferred to eat things much smaller, which is unsurprising since literally everything that lived in Transylvania at the

Named after him. (Joseph Banks also advocated the British government to make Botany Bay, near where the Endeavor was beached, to serve as a place for the reception of convicts. It’s early establishment made the phrase “Botany Bay” become a colloquial metonym for transportation to any Australian penal settlements.) In addition to attaining fame and notoriety in the national sciences community, his journey on the Endeavor would make a contribution to etymology by writing a word in his diary; “kanguru”.To have another language is to possess a second soul.CharlemagneAn Indigenous contributionIf the word “kanguru” looks and sounds familiar, it’s because it is close to the general English name we call the hopping, Australian native marsupial: the kangaroo. On July 12th, 1770 when Joseph Banks recorded the word in his diary, he slightly misspelled the Guugu Yimithirr’s people name for the animal; correctly spelled “gangurru”. Learning from the native Guugu Yimithirr people, Banks remarked that the Australian Aboriginal language was, “totally different from that of the Islanders; it sounded more like English in its degree of harshness tho it could not be called harsh neither.”. Today, there are less than 2,000 fluent speakers of the Guugu Yimithirr language (though there is an effort to save the Guuga Yimithirr language using Youtube videos). It is said, though unconfirmed, that kangaroo is the first word of any Australian Aboriginal language spoken by a European. Imagine the first time the crew of the Endeavor saw a kangaroo; Marsupials weren’t native to Europe, so seeing a dog-faced-like mammal standing upright, jumping around on its hind legs, somehow balancing on its tail, while carrying their young in a pouch like a human would in a sling must have been quite a sight. James Cook reported it looking “of a light mouse colour and the full size of a greyhound, and shaped in every respect like one, with a long tail, which it carried like a greyhound; in short, I should have taken it for a wild dog but for its walking or running, in which it jumped like a hare or deer.”.Thanks to Guugu Yimithirr and

The phantom of the kangaroo is there… inside your mind.Bigfoot. Loch Ness Monster. Yeti. Chupacabra. Fruit Stripe gum flavor. Phantom kangaroos. What do all these have in common? They only leave traces of their existence and are more than likely superficial.Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.Jonathan SwiftPhantom kangaroo meaningA phantom kangaroo refers to a report of kangaroo sightings in areas where there is no known native population. Wild kangaroos mostly live in Australia. Smaller populations exists in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Therefore, a wild kangaroo sighting in any other area besides the aforementioned three countries, would make the appearance a phantom kangaroo.A phantom kangaroo sighting can occur if someone thinks they saw the animal itself or traces of the animal; such as a footprint. Recorded phantom kangaroo sightings have occurred in the United States, United Kingdom, French, and Japan.As phantoms frighten beasts when shadows fall.Dante AlighieriPhantom kangaroo sightingsThe book “Mysterious America: The Ultimate Guide to the Nation’s Weirdest Wonders“, written by Loren Coleman, claims that kangaroos have been spotted in Nebraska, Kansas, and Minnesota. Additional sightings in the United States of America have occurred in Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and New York. One of the earliest U.S based phantom kangaroo sightings took place near South Pittsburg, Tennessee, in 1934. Several witnesses reported the “kangaroo-like beast” over five days. They claimed it to have killed and partially eaten several animals, including ducks, geese, and dogs. “Kangaroo tracks” were followed, but ended near the entrance to a
