What is a macropod?

A Macropod is the marsupial family that also includes the wallabies, tree-kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons and the Quokka. There are 65 species of Macropods (kangaroos) in all. The term kangaroo is sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to all members of the macropod family. Kangaroos are native to the continent of Australia, while tree-kangaroos are also found in New Guinea. There are over 60 smaller macropods that are closely related to the kangaroos in the family Macropodidae.

Kangaroo description

Kangaroos have large, powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, a long muscular tail for balance, and a small head. Like all marsupials, kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which their young complete their development after birth.
