Red kangaroo
Australia’s largest and most powerful marsupial, the red kangaroo thrives across the arid landscapes. With strength and adaptability, they’re built to endure even the harshest climates.
Life in the outback
Red kangaroos are well-suited to Australia’s tough outback, forming small groups to share grazing areas and keep watch. They’re true survivors, thriving in open deserts, grasslands, and shrublands.
