袋鼠的英文名「Kangaroo」的由來，傳說源自於澳洲原住民辜古依密舍

袋鼠的英文名「Kangaroo」的由來，傳說源自於澳洲原住民辜古依密舍族（Guugu Yimidhirr）所言:「gangurru」，意思是「不知道」，這是源自一場誤會[3]。英國詹姆士·庫克的第一次航海旅行時，於1770年6月11日在澳大利亞東北大堡礁觸礁，最後在努力河（即現時庫克鎮港口）岸邊修理船艦。在七個禮拜其間，植物學家約瑟夫·班克斯意外地發現到一種古靈精怪的動物，便去詢問當地澳洲原住民辜古依密舍族，由於原住民聽不懂英文，所以回覆不知道（gangurru）。班克斯就誤將「gangurru」當做「袋鼠」的英文名稱。這個傳說在20世紀70年代，經語言學家John B. Haviland 在辜古依密舍族地研究中確認，當地稱呼袋鼠即為「ganguro」，其意義並非「不知道」

The origin of the kangaroo's English name, "Kangaroo", is said to have originated from the Australian Native Gugu Yimidhirr' "gangurru", meaning "don't know", which was derived from a misunderstanding. On his first voyage, James Cook of England hit the reef on the Great Barrier Reef in north-east Australia on June 11, 1770, and finally repaired the ship on the shore of the Endeavour River (now the port of Cooktown). Over the course of seven weeks, botanist Joseph Banks accidentally discovered an ancient animal and asked the local Indigenous People of Australia, the Kooghimish, to reply because the First Nations did not understand English. Banks mistakenly referred to "gangurru" as the English name for "kangaroo". The legend was established in the 1970s by the linguist John B. Haviland in the Study of the Kooku-Imish family, and the local term kangaroo is called "ganguro" and its meaning is not "unknown".

On his first voyage, James Cook of England hit a reef on the Great Barrier Reef in northeast Australia on June 11, 1770, and finally repaired his ship on the Bank of the river of Endeavour (now the port of cook town). In the course of seven weeks, botanist Joseph Banks accidentally found a kind of ancient and delicate animal, so he asked the local Australian Aboriginal Koo Koo yimishe people. Because the Aboriginal people couldn't understand English, they didn't know (gangurru). Banks mistook gangurru for the English name of kangaroo. In the 1970s, linguist John B. Haviland confirmed that the local name kangaroo is "Ganguro", which means not "don't know"
