Scientific name: Macropus giganteus
Origin: Australia
Size: 0.9-1.4m
Diet: Herbivore
IUCN status: Least Concern
Threats: Currently no major threats to this species
Zoos I have seen them: Fota Wildlife Park, Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes
Interesting fact: This species can jump at up to 9 metres in one bound. Unfortunately, this often results in the kangaroos entering conflict with sheep farmers.
