Why do kangaroos have long legs?

Kangaroos have long legs because they are especially adapted for bounding over long distances in Australia. They are unable to move independently for walking, and the long hind feet are structured for long leaps rather than running. Hopping is also more energy efficient. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". Every time a kangaroo's feet hits the ground, some of the energy is shifted to the rubber, stored there, then recycled in an elastic bounce. The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. This is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills their lungs.

Are all kangaroos wild?

Most kangaroos are wild. Kangaroos that are kept in wildlife sanctuaries which are open to the public tend to be used to people. In these places, the gentler kangaroos are kept in huge, fenced paddocks where visitors can roam and feed the kangaroos on grain they purchase from the sanctuary shop. These kangaroos will graze contendedly despite the presence of humans, or come up to people, nuzzling them for food. In one or two states of Australia, kangaroos are permitted to be kept as pets, but not in suburban areas.
