Kangaroos use five limbs to walk. They use their powerful hind legs, their short front legs, and their tail. Kangaroos are unable to walk on either two or four legs because of the way their body is shaped. Most of the time, they bound along on their specially designed hind legs. These hind legs are unable to move independently, but must always move at the same time and in the same direction, except when the animal is swimming. When walking, kangaroos need to support themselves with their front legs while they pull their hind legs along. The tail is actively used to provide the vital "push" needed to propel their bodies forwards.
