Kangaroos are marsupials native to Australia.

Kangaroos are iconic marsupials known for their powerful hind legs, long tails, and distinctive hopping locomotion. They have strong, muscular tails used for balance, large feet adapted for hopping, and some species, like the red kangaroo, can grow to over 6 feet tall. Their fur varies in color, often ranging from shades of brown to gray. Plus, they have a unique pouch in which they nurture and carry their young, known as joeys, until they're ready to venture out.
