How big are female kangaroos?

Answer 1

This depends on the species.

Red Kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials. The Red Kangaroo averages 1.6 meters (5.25 ft) tall. Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some large males reportedly reaching approximately 2 meters (6.6 ft).

The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23 cm long.

Various other members of the kangaroo family - of which there are over 60 - range in size between those two.

Answer 2

There are over 60 members of the kangaroo family, so sizes vary.

Red Kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials. Female Red Kangaroos are considerably smaller than the males, averaging 26 kg (as opposed to the males' average of 65 kg) and from 75cm to 140cm in height (compared to the males' 2 metres). The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23cm long. There is little difference in size between males and females of this species.

Answer 3

Western and Eastern Grey kangaroos are similar in size. Grey kangaroos range in weight from 28 - 54kg (61 lb - 119 lb) and reach a height of around 1.6m.
