Most kangaroos have no set breeding cycle and are able to breed all year round. Because they are such prolific breeders, a kangaroo population can increase fourfold in five years if it has continuous access to plentiful food and water. However, conditions will determine how often they reproduce. Female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.
There are over sixty species of kangaroo. Some of the smaller species do have a specific breeding season, and this is usually from Australia's Spring through to early Autumn, or September to March.
Joeys can hop as soon as they leave the pouch. Kangaroos hop whenever they want to move anywhere. It is their method of getting around. They cannot walk, but if they want to move only a meter or so, they slowly drag their back legs forward while leaning on their front legs, This is usually while they are grazing.
The Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial and can jump over 10 metres.
More information:
Moving at its fastest speed, generally the farthest a Red kangaroo (the largest of the kangaroo species) can jump is 12 metres (40 feet), with the average being 7-9 metres (25-30 feet), and up to a height of 3 metres.
The maximum jumping distance of the Red kangaroo (in full flight), has been measured at 13.5 metres.
