Red Kangaroo
Osphranter rufus
Adult red kangaroos live across arid and semi-arid Australian plains, shrublands, and open woodlands. They graze mainly on grasses and low vegetation, conserving water efficiently in dry habitats. Adults travel by powerful hopping and males wrestle, grapple, and kick during contests. The species is the largest living marsupial, with a strong tail used as a balancing support during slow movement and fighting.
