Red kangaroos cannot walk or run. They hop and jump.
A comfortable hopping speed for red kangaroos is 19 kilometres per hour (12 miles per hour), and they can maintain this speed for hours, stopping for brief rests. They can have short bursts of speed of between 55 and 70 kph (35-44mph).
A single jump can be up to 8 metres (29 feet) long, and 1.8m (6 feet) in height.
Kangaroo rats don't run, they hop. They can jump six to nine feet in a single bound, and travel about ten feet per second. Because they can change direction in between each hop, they are difficult for predators to catch.
