red kangaroos
Outback's largest marsupials
Red kangaroos are the largest living marsupials, native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia.
Males have reddish-brown fur while females are typically blue-grey, earning females the nickname "blue fliers." They travel by hopping on powerful hind legs and can cover vast distances searching for food and water: We spotted a mob of red kangaroos at dawn.
