Not all kangaroos are big however the biggest, the red kangaroo or macropus rufus, is up to 6 feet or 1.8m tall and is that big because it lives in the arid region of Australia. in the arid region water is scarce and reds have to travel up to 60 miles or 100 km to find water. bigger longer legs means less hops to make the distance. in a similar way desert aborigines were taller, with longer limbs, than their coastal counterparts.
The kangaroos back legs are stronger then the front legs because they need the strength of thier back legs to jump and to use them to fight.
yes, rabbits can back up but mostly they just stand on there hind legs and swivel around.
Like other kangaroos, Eastern Grey Kangaroos have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding. They have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". 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.
No, kangaroos do not have paired legs. One of their legs is separate from the other. Much like other animals, kangaroos also have paws.

the average speed is 20-25 km/h there are over 60 species of kangaroos all kangaroo's have powerful back legs
There are so many animals that can stand straight up. Some of them include dogs, cats, monkeys, kangaroos and so many others.
to jump
No.
Of course. This is their primary method of locomotion. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs".
