By and large, kangaroos are left-handed. This might seem like really weird news, but the study that backs this up may help scientists get a better handle on the evolution of mammals - in addition to dispelling the notion that true 'handedness,' the tendency to favor one limb over another, is uniquely a human trait.
A study published in Current Biology says they found a pronounced degree of handedness in an animal group only distantly related to humans. And the degree of handedness was 'comparable to that in our species.'
