Red Kangaroo

The Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial. Males reach heights of over five feet and weigh 180 pounds or more. These unique animals can only be found in Australia. Kangaroos generally feed on grass and selected short green plants. Kangaroos can jump eight feet high, leap distances up to fourteen feet and reach speeds of up to forty miles per hour. Kangaroos breed year-round. Mothers keep the young in a pouch located near the abdomen, as with other marsupials.
