Kangaroos in trees they’re not supposed to be in are amazing.

I didn’t know that there are kangaroos that live in trees. Scientists have found tree kangaroos a remote area in Indonesia. They say it’s one of only two sites where they’ve been found. I’m not sure of where the second is. There are also some fowl you can check out and several “undescribed species of frog

Get this for ignorance: I didn't know that there were kangaroos outside of Australia. I seem to remember Australians claiming ownership over most if not all marsupials, in fact. WTF? So you've taught me two things today.

Also---now that I am thinking about their bodies--how do they get up there? They have really weird arms ...but I guess that also have long claws. Do they shimmy their way up there or do they just blast off into the trees with one gigantic bounce?! Learning is fun.

Maybe it's like what happened with Tigger. They bounced up, but they couldn't bounce down, and (unlike Tigger) they stayed in the treetops and bred and bred and bred.

I have so much to teach you. If only we had time alone.

Dude, right now you're putting the link in your journal entry, like this:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/photogalleries/flash/lostworld.html?gallery=lostworld

Instead, to embed it in text (turn it into a hyperlink), you do this:

hyperlink text

[bugsybrown]

Yeah, so when people view your link, they'll just see hyperlink text.

You make it seem so easy.

That's why they pay me the big bucks. ROTFL har har
