What is the difference between a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo?

Tree kangaroos are kangaroos - just a few of over 60 species of kangaroo. However, differences between tree kangaroos and the animal most commonly thought of as kangaroos (Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos) are:Tree kangaroos are indeed arboreal-dwelling, spending much of their time feeding and resting in trees. Red and grey kangaroos are strictly ground-dwelling, and cannot climb at all.Tree kangaroos are smaller and stockier, and certainly more agile. They have stronger front legs to assist with climbing, and longer tails to help with balance.Tree kangaroos eat leaves and fruit. Red and Grey kangaroos do not readily eat fruit in their native habitat.

What is the movement of a kangaroo?

When moving quickly, kangaroos mainly travel by hopping. They have powerful hind legs ideal for speedy bounding. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. Their strong back legs and elongated hind feet enable them to bound. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. When moving slowly, kangaroos walk. They support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along. Their hind legs cannot move independently, but must be pulled together.
