Giant Kangaroo: The Powerful Hopper

The giant kangaroo, also known as the red kangaroo, is the largest marsupial in the world and a symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife. With powerful hind legs, they can leap over 9 meters in a single bound and reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. In the zoo, giant kangaroos are housed in open enclosures with plenty of space to hop and graze. Visitors can watch them interact in their social groups, called mobs, led by a dominant male. Feeding sessions are a favorite, where keepers share fascinating facts about their diets, reproduction, and the unique way they care for their young in pouches.
