The Kangaroo is the pugilist of the animal kingdom. He would rather box than eat.


"Old Boomer," or the great grey Kangaroo, sits up on his hind legs and balances on his strong tail. His front paws are ready for action and he is longing for a boxing bout. Mother Kangaroo puts her child in her pouch and takes it for a joy ride. Here is the original perambulator and this perfect model for a baby carriage has never been equalled by the human race.
