Kangaroos are the largest marsupials. Males are called
boomers, females does, and all babies are called joeys. What
does the average kangaroo look like? Most adults are about 6
feet (1.8 m) tall and weigh about 100 pounds (45 kg). They
have large hind feet, strong hind legs, and a tail measuring
3 feet (.9 m) or longer. A kangaroo uses its heavy tail for
balance and to prop itself up when sitting or fighting, when it
kicks the enemy with both hind feet! Normally kangaroos are
quadrupeds—they use all four feet to walk. Even their short
front limbs, like arms, help them move. But the animals
stand on two feet when they want to move quickly. They can
hop up to 40 miles (64 km) per hour over short distances and
leap over 30 feet (9.2 m) in a single bound!
