Kangaroos are the only large animals that use hopping as their primary means of locomotion. Their powerful hind legs and large feet make them incredibly efficient travelers.
Female kangaroos carry their young (called joeys) in pouches for about 6 months. Joeys are born tiny, about the size of a jellybean!
Kangaroos are found exclusively in Australia and New Guinea. They're so iconic that they appear on the Australian coat of arms alongside the emu.
Kangaroos live in groups called "mobs" which can range from a few individuals to over 100 members. They communicate through foot thumping and clicking sounds.
