About

Kangaroos are a type of bipedal marsupial who raise their children (called joeys) in a pouch. They are docile and shy herbivores and have powerful hind legs, large feet ending in clawed toes, a small head with large ears and a heavy, balancing tail. Their primary means of motivation is hopping, and they are known for their grappling, “boxing” behavior in combat.
