Fast and agile, the kangaroo is one of Australia's most iconic animals. Easily recognizable by its long, powerful hind legs and large tail which it uses for support, it moves by making great leaps of over 9 meters.
The kangaroo is a marsupial: the female carries her young, called a "joey," in a ventral pouch where it finishes its growth in complete safety.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey. This term comes from a familiar word used in Australia, itself derived from an Aboriginal language, where it means "small animal."
Amazing fact: this mammal can slow down or suspend the development of an embryo if conditions are not favorable, a unique adaptation in the animal kingdom. Herbivorous, it feeds mainly on grasses and young shoots that it grazes in the plains.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the kangaroo: powerful muscles, expressive head, and dynamic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories from Australia, or raise children's awareness of the diversity of wildlife from around the world.
