The largest of the kangaroo species, the Red Kangaroo, has been observed jumping to a height of over three metres.
In May 2008, observers of a kangaroo round-up in Australia told an animal rights group they had seen a kangaroo nearly leap an enclosure 5-6 meters high (roughly 16-19 feet). The kangaroo had not been able to clear the obstacle, but they estimated it had jumped the equivalent of 4-5 m.
An article in the June 24, 1963, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette claims a naturalist once recorded a kangaroo jumping a pile of logs ten-and-a-half feet high and twenty-seven feet wide, a feat he speculated may have been the biggest jump on record.
Because the above stories are anecdotal and no specific sources are cited nor official measurements taken, it's impossible to know whether these claims are true or accurate.

How high could you jump on Neptune?
Due to its strong gravitational pull, you would be able to jump much higher on Neptune compared to Earth. However, the exact height would depend on various factors such as your weight and leg strength. Generally, you could potentially jump several times higher than on Earth.
If you jumped 3 ft high on earth how high would that be on the moon?
It would still be 3ft However, if the question is about gravity, then for the same force you would expect to jump 18ft.
