Red Kangaroos

The next position in the list of the highest jumping animals in the world is the red kangaroo which is the biggest kangaroo species, the biggest Australian native terrestrial mammal, and the biggest living marsupial. All of mainland Australia is home to it, with the exception of more productive regions like southern Western Australia, the eastern and southeastern shores, and the northern coast's rainforests.

A particularly large kangaroo of its species, it has a square-shaped muzzle and long, pointed ears. The males have short, reddish-brown hair that fades to pale buff on the underside and on the limbs, making them sexually dimorphic. Although females in dry zones are more similar to males in color, females are smaller than males and are blue-grey with a hint of brown. It possesses two forelimbs with tiny claws, two muscular hindlimbs for jumping, and a powerful tail that it frequently uses to stand erect like a tripod.

The distinctive musculoskeletal system of red kangaroos, the largest kangaroo species, allows the marsupials to jump far and high. They can leap nearly 11 feet in the air and cover around 30 feet in a single bound. Kangaroos are also one of the few creatures that use jumping as their primary form of propulsion.
