Best Answer

Kangaroos do not run: they hop.

A comfortable hopping speed for red kangaroos, the largest of the kangaroo species, is 19 kilometres per hour (12 miles per hour), and they can maintain this speed for hours, stopping for brief rests. They can have short bursts of speed of between 55 and 70 kph (35-44mph).

A single jump can be up to 8 metres (29 feet) long, and 1.8m (6 feet) in height.
