TRIVIA

The kangaroo is a marsupial. They are characterized by having a pouch in which they can hide their young. Kangaroos are currently the largest marsupials in the world. There are four main types of kangaroos - the red kangaroo, the antelope kangaroo, the eastern grey kangaroo, and the western grey kangaroo.

Kangaroos cannot walk backwards. Kangaroos can jump very high and very far. Due to the specific structure of their legs, durable tendons and very strong muscles, they can jump up to 3 meters in the air and 9 meters forward. Jumping is their standard way of locomotion - moving. The large and strong kangaroo tails are used to maintain balance while jumping.

Few people know that kangaroos are very good swimmers. They use this ability when they feel threatened. They run away from their opponent into the water, where they gain an advantage over him. However, a kangaroo cannot be underestimated on land. They are very strong animals that can kick very hard and even box.
