Iconic hoppers from Down Under
Meet Our Kangaroos
Kangaroos are one of the most iconic animals in the world! These remarkable marsupials are famous for their powerful hind legs, long tails, and unique hopping locomotion. Watch them bound across the habitat with incredible grace!
Our kangaroos are curious and surprisingly gentle. Female kangaroos (does) carry their babies (joeys) in their pouches for months. If you\'re lucky, you might spot a joey peeking out from mom\'s pouch!
Kangaroos are social animals that live in groups called mobs. They communicate through various vocalizations and body language, including thumping their powerful feet to warn others of danger.
