Eastern Grey Kangaroo
Macropus giganteus
The adult Eastern Grey Kangaroo lives in open forests, woodlands, and grassy clearings across eastern Australia and Tasmania. It grazes mostly on grasses and herbs, feeding most actively in the cooler parts of the day. Adults travel with long, energy-saving hops and use powerful hind legs, forearms, and a balancing tail in close confrontations. Large males can stand taller than many people when upright and may box or kick during contests.
