Red kangaroos cannot walk or run. They hop and jump.

A comfortable hopping speed for red kangaroos is 19 kilometres per hour (12 miles per hour), and they can maintain this speed for hours, stopping for brief rests. They can have short bursts of speed of between 55 and 70 kph (35-44mph).

A single jump can be up to 8 metres (29 feet) long, and 1.8m (6 feet) in height.

Can a kangaroo run faster than a car?

They can run pretty fast, but it depends how fast the car's going. :) Kangaroos, on average, will not bound faster than a car (they don't run at all). The largest of the kangaroos, the Red kangaroo, has a top speed of around 70 kilometres per hour, or 45 miles an hour. Cruising speed is much lower - about 20 kph.
