The largest of the kangaroo species, the Red Kangaroo, has been observed jumping to a height of over three metres.

In May 2008, observers of a kangaroo round-up in Australia told an animal rights group they had seen a kangaroo nearly leap an enclosure 5-6 meters high (roughly 16-19 feet). The kangaroo had not been able to clear the obstacle, but they estimated it had jumped the equivalent of 4-5 m.

An article in the June 24, 1963, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette claims a naturalist once recorded a kangaroo jumping a pile of logs ten-and-a-half feet high and twenty-seven feet wide, a feat he speculated may have been the biggest jump on record.

Because the above stories are anecdotal and no specific sources are cited nor official measurements taken, it's impossible to know whether these claims are true or accurate.
