Macropus giganteus

Macropus giganteus, commonly known as the eastern grey kangaroo, is a large marsupial native to eastern Australia. It has a robust body covered in gray-brown fur, powerful hind legs for hopping, and a long tail used for balance. Adult males can stand over 6 feet tall and weigh up to 66 pounds, while females are smaller. They are herbivores, feeding mainly on grasses and leaves. Kangaroos are social animals, often found in groups called mobs, and are known for their efficient movement through hopping. They are an iconic symbol of Australian wildlife.
