Kangaroos and emus are said to be unable to walk backwards. Therefore, their presence on the Australian coat-of-arms signifies forward prgression. Whether or not emus can or cannot walk backwards is actually conjecture: but there have been no formal recorded observations of emus ever walking backwards.

There are many things a kangaroo cannot do that a human can.

A Kangaroo can not write a book while a Human can write a book.

A kangaroo cannot carry on an intelligent conversation.

A kangaroo cannot train a dog.

A kangaroo cannot play a musical instrument.

A kangaroo cannot saddle and ride a horse.

A kangaroo cannot do prestidigitation.

However, the question is most likely directed at the fact that a kangaroo cannot "walk" as its legs do not move independently of each other. For this reason, it also cannot walk backwards. kangaroos can only hop and bound, or else move slowly by dragging themselves along by their surprisingly strong front feet, with their large hind legs following together.

It is believed that kangaroos are unable to walk backwards.

Although the kangaroo's most common movement is bounding, when grazing it will walk forwards slowly, using its front legs to pull it along, and dragging its back legs, which are unable to move independently for this purpose. The tail gives it extra balance. With this method of locomotion, it is impossible for the kangaroo to step backwards.

Kangaroos cannot solve algebraic equations. They cannot hold their breath for half an hour. They cannot transmute lead into gold. There are infinitely many other things that they cannot do.
