Australia is the native home of the kangaroo, a marsupial that has become an iconic symbol of the country. These animals are primarily found in the wild across various regions of Australia, from grasslands to forests. Kangaroos are known for their powerful hind legs, large feet, and unique mode of movement, hopping. They also have a pouch for carrying and nursing their young. As a result of their popularity and the country's association with them, kangaroos are often featured in Australian culture, tourism, and wildlife conservation efforts to protect their natural habitats.
