Kangaroos belong to the marsupial family known as 'macropods'. The word "macropod" is a Greek word meaning long-footed. A macropod is a marsupial with strong hind legs, which tend to use hopping and jumping as their main means of locomotion (movement). Their feet are long, and have sharp claws at the end.
