Kangaroos

This week, Alex discusses the largest marsupial species in the world. These are well known animals, but they have a lot of characteristics and behaviors that you probably don’t know about. They’re also notorious for their kickboxing skills. So, let’s hop on over to the Australian outback to talk about kangaroos.

“It’s been estimated that a kangaroo can cover 15 feet in a single hop. They’ve also been found to use their huge tail as an extra leg to help them hop.”
