western grey kangaroo; black-faced kangaroo; sooty kangaroo
Refers specifically to Macropus fuliginosus, a large kangaroo species native to southern Australia. The name クロカンガルー (black kangaroo) comes from its dark face and sooty coloration.
I saw a western grey kangaroo at the zoo in Australia.
It is usually written in kana; katakana is the standard spelling for this animal name.
Kanji spelling is possible but less common; the katakana form is preferred.
Compound of 黒 (kuro, 'black') + カンガルー (kangaroo), referring to the dark facial coloring of this species.
