Kangaroo

Kangaroos were marsupial mammals native to Australia, and could be found in the Bush. They were a similar height to humans, with short arms, big legs and long curved tails. Kangaroos were mostly considered to be harmless, but nonetheless they were very strong. (PROSE: Bennelong Point)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

In 1979, a young Western Australian boy named Harvey met the Tenth Doctor soon after stumbling across a kangaroo with glowing eyes. It turned out that the animal had been inhabited by a parasitic Zalphon. (PROSE: Bennelong Point)

On at least one adventure with the Eleventh Doctor, Abigail Pettigrew went to Uluru and was photographed in front of a kangaroo crossing sign. (TV: A Christmas Carol)

Kangaroos were among the animals on board the Ark in circa 10,000,000. (PROSE: The Ark)

In the 42nd century, there was a TV show based off Iris Wildthyme's autobiography, Ugg Boots and Catsuits: My Fabulous Life, and Panda was replaced by an Australian kangaroo, Hoppy. (AUDIO: The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society)

Other references[[edit] | [edit source]]

Immediately after regeneration, the Seventh Doctor's brain was addled, and he unwittingly altered several common metaphors. He claimed that Melanie Bush had the "mind of a kangaroo" before she reminded him that people with great memories were said to have the "mind of an elephant." (TV: Time and the Rani)

The planet Aridus had blue kangaroo-like creatures. (PROSE: Warmonger)
