Good morning and happy Monday! How is it the last day of January already? Hope you had a great weekend, let’s get your week started right!

Fun Fact: Kangaroos can not walk backward.

Kangaroos hopping motion is called Saltation. They hop off their feet and use their tail to balance. That combined with muscular legs make it easy for them to move forward effectively but those appendages stop them from going in reverse.

On this Day:

In 1999, Family Guy premiered on Fox.

National Holidays
