Description: An eastern grey grazing, and licking her arm. Kangaroos, unlike cows and other true ruminants, rely on worms called strongyles in a symbiotic relationship to help them break down the fibrous plant matter. The strongyle eggs then pass through the kangaroo, to be picked up by other kangaroos when they eat grass, continuing the cycle.
