The kangaroo is a large marsupial native to Australia, known for its powerful hind legs and unique hopping movement. These animals have strong tails that help them balance while they move. Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and leaves, and they live in groups called mobs. Kangaroos are famous for their pouches, where female kangaroos carry and nurse their young, called joeys. They are also a symbol of Australia, often seen in various forms of art and culture. With their distinctive appearance and friendly nature, kangaroos are beloved by many around the world.
