Aboriginal meaning for lizard

Answer 1

There are literally hundreds of Aboriginal languages, and different species of kangaroo which had different names. It is impossible to say that there is one Aboriginal name that describes a kangaroo.

According to the Oceaniaweb factfile, the word 'kangaroo' is believed to have come from the Aboriginal word gangurru, a Guugu Yimidhirr word referring to the Grey Kangaroo. Captain James Cook's botanist, Sir Joseph Banks, first recorded the word as "kangaru" when the Endeavour was damaged on the Great Barrier Reef near modern-day Cooktown, and required the crew to stay on the mainland for almost 7 weeks repairing their ship. This gave Banks ample time to make copious notes on the fauna and flora.
