Kangaroos are herbivorous marsupials with elongated hind limbs, which they use for hopping movement. They live mainly in Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. Large kangaroos can jump up to 11 m in length and reach speeds of up to 60 km/h.
The figure captures the typical bond between a female and her young in the pouch. A kangaroo’s pregnancy lasts approximately 36 days, and the newborn joey is initially underdeveloped – without fur, blind, and without hind limbs. After birth, the joey uses touch and smell to reach the pouch, where it latches onto a teat and stays for about 7 months. It gradually continues to develop; around the seventh month it begins to poke its head out of the pouch and can graze on grass. At about one year, it is already able to live without the pouch, but it still stays close to its mother.
