Just In Case you’ve Always Wondered How a Kangaroo Foot Looks Like

Kangaroos belong to a family known as “big foot” or Macropus. The mammals can leap up to nine meters in one bound and travel over 48 kilometers per hour. Their distinct appearance features muscular legs, heavy and oversized hind paws, small forepaws, and a stout and long tail.

Apart from the tree kangaroos, the other species have five toes, each clawed and curved, used for fighting, grabbing, grooming, eating, and keeping themselves cool by smearing saliva on their bodies. On the other hand, the larger hind paws act as an alarm that warns other herbivores of danger. When a mob is in danger, they beat their feet, immediately alerting other marsupials.
