No. The word "macropod" is a Greek word meaning long-footed. A macropod is a marsupial with long hind legs, which tend to use hopping and jumping as their main means of locomotion (movement). This group includes marsupials found in Australia, such as kangaroos, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, pademelons, quokkas and several others. They are herbivores which means they eat plants.
