What are the body parts on a red kangaroo that help them survive?

Answer 1

There are several ways kangaroos' hind legs help them:

• Kangaroos are bipedal animals. Jumping requires more energy and creates more muscle tension in comparison to humans or other animals that walk and run. However, because of the way the kangaroos' hind legs are constructed, bounding actually uses less energy.
• 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.
• 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.

Answer 2

Kangaroos move by using the hind legs, which acts like a spring to jump and uses their tail to control

Answer 3

head, shoulders, knees and toes.

Answer 4
