To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The larger species are already much on the decline, owing to the 94 THE KANGAROO spread of the cultivation and occupation of the land in Australia.
Nevertheless they are harmless and timid, unless the large old males become wounded, or are caught or interfered with ; at such times they are found formidable antagonists, ripping and tearing, with the feet and claws, men or dogs.
One is tempted to regard the kangaroo as exemplifying the early transition from the bird or reptile to the more perfect...ly-developed mammal. Its immature birth, slow growth, and deficiency in the development of the brain ; want of tenderness and care for its young ; dull perception and entire lack of intelligence ; its bird-like hop on its ■ hind-legs, and its ungraceful crawl on all fours, — all place it little above the reptiles that creep and hop over the earth.
Of this form how wonderful are the modifications adapted to different kinds of life ! We have a tree kangaroo (Bendrolagus imistus) ; this animal is destined to live in the forest, to climb from tree to tree and jump from branch to branch, feeding upon the leaves, flowers, tender branches, and shoots, and moving awkwardly on the ground.
