The term "Kangaroo" refers to a group of mammals found in Australia, which belong to the family Macropodidae. These animals are known for their distinctive physical features such as pouches on their bellies where they carry and nurse their young, powerful hind legs used for hopping, and long tails that provide balance while hopping. Kangaroos are herbivores and feed mainly on grasses, leaves, bark, and other vegetation found in the Australian landscape. The term "Kangaroo" is also often used figuratively to describe someone or something that hops around a lot or moves quickly from place to place.
