๐ฆ The red kangaroo is the largest kangaroo, reaching up to 8 feet long!
๐ They can weigh up to 200 pounds and grow about 6 feet tall.
๐ Their strong legs allow them to jump over 10 feet in a single bound!
๐พ Male red kangaroos are larger than females and have a muscular build called 'the boomer.'
๐๏ธ Red kangaroos thrive in Australia's dry grasslands, deserts, and scrublands.
๐ฅ They are herbivores, mainly munching on grasses, leaves, and shrubs.
๐ง Red kangaroos can go a long time without drinking water but love to sip from rivers and lakes.
๐ฆ They live in social groups called mobs, which can have just a few or over a dozen members.
๐ Female red kangaroos carry their babies, called joeys, in a pouch for several months.
