Not all kangaroos are big however the biggest, the red kangaroo or macropus rufus, is up to 6 feet or 1.8m tall and is that big because it lives in the arid region of Australia. in the arid region water is scarce and reds have to travel up to 60 miles or 100 km to find water. bigger longer legs means less hops to make the distance. in a similar way desert aborigines were taller, with longer limbs, than their coastal counterparts.
