constituting the family Macropodidae, found in Australia and neighboring
islands. Typical large kangaroos have sheeplike heads; large, movable ears;
slender chests; and heavy hind parts. They have short front legs with five
unequal digits, and long, powerful hind legs with tendons that act like
springs for energy-efficient hopping. A large kangaroo can cover a distance
of 6.6 m (25 feet) in a single leap. The hind fee ...
