	Kangaroo - MSN Encarta
		Kangaroos are marsupials, a type of mammal that gives birth to undeveloped young.
		The young kangaroo, sometimes called a joey, may remain with the mother, climbing into her pouch for nourishment or safety, until it is more than a year old.
		Kangaroos are similar to hoofed mammals, or ungulates, such as the deer and antelope, in their ability to digest plant matter that is high in fiber and low in protein.

	Kangaroo court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A kangaroo court is a 'judicial' proceeding that denies proper procedure in the name of expediency; a fraudulent or unjust trial where the decision has essentially been made in advance, usually for the purpose of providing a conviction, either going through the motions of manipulated procedure or allowing no defence at all.
		A kangaroo court may be a court that has had its integrity compromised; for example, if the judge is not impartial and refuses to be recused.
		Kangaroo court is also used as a derogatory term to describe the dispute resolution mechanism used by prison inmates within the prison, based upon the pecking order of the prisoners.

	Kangaroo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A female kangaroo is usually pregnant in permanence, except on the day she gives birth; however, she has the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey is able to leave the pouch.
		Studies of kangaroos and wallabies have demonstrated that, beyond the minimum energy expenditure required to hop at all, increased speed requires very little extra effort (much less than the same speed increase in, say, a horse, a dog, or a human), and also that little extra energy is required to carry extra weight.
		A sequencing project of the Kangaroo genome was started in 2004 as a collaboration between Australia (mainly funded by the State of Victoria) and the NIH in the USA.
