Best Answer

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

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

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