This depends on the species of marsupial. Many, like the members of the kangaroo family, primarily move by jumping. They are also able to walk slowly, using their tails for balance, and dragging both hind legs forwards a the same time. Their hind legs are unable to move independently out of water (they are also excellent swimmers). Other species of marsupials, such as wombats and Tasmanian devils, walk on all fours. Koalas also walk on all fours, but can stretch up on two legs. They are adept climbers, as are possums and quolls. Marsupials in the glider family move by launching out into the air, and spreading wide their forelimbs which have membranes attached. These membranes catch the air currents, and enable gliders to glide for up to 100 metres.
