Did you know that kangaroos can't move their legs independently? Instead, they use their tail as a "third leg" to support their weight and balance while hopping. This unique adaptation allows them to cover large distances efficiently and reach speeds of up to 65km per hour!

Kangaroos are also excellent swimmers and can use their powerful hind legs to kick underwater. So, next time you see a kangaroo bounding across the Australian outback, remember that it's not just their legs doing all the work – their tail plays a crucial role too!
