A marsupial - a pouched mammal - that moves by hopping on its large hind legs describes any one of the family Macropodidaewhich is native to Australia and New Guinea and which includes kangaroos, pademelons, wallabies, and others.

These herbivores also have a characteristically large and well-muscled tail which assists in movement. They hop only when moving at speed; when grazing or otherwise moving slowly they simply use their forelimbs and tail for balance while moving their hindlimbs forwards.
