Kangaroo

Kangaroos are plant-eating marsupials suited to covering open ground through hopping. Their long tails assist balance at speed and provide support during slower movements. Several species differ in size, color and habitat, including red and grey kangaroos. Young continue growing in the mother's pouch before spending longer periods outside it. Grazing, resting and access to shade or water shape their daily activity, with social groups often changing as individuals move.
