The kangaroo’s head is small, but its ears are large, and its fore feet are really small. The animal has strong back legs and long tail.

The kangaroo usually covers from 5 to 10 feet(1.5 to 3m) with each jump. The female is usually faster than the male. The mother kangaroo has a pouch (育兒袋) in its abdomen (腹部). The baby kangaroo grows up in the mother’s pouch slowly.
