    The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest of all kangaroos, the largest mammal native to Australia, and the largest marsupial. Males are bigger than females and grow up to a body weight of 85 kg. Large males can stand more than 1.8 m tall. They hop along on their powerful hind legs and do so at great speed, up to 56 km / hour, with a distance of up to 8 m in a single leap. Red kangaroos are found across mainland Australia in arid and semiarid regions, gathering in small groups called mobs. Red kangaroos are capable of conserving enough water and selecting enough fresh vegetation to survive in an arid environment. This image is from Wild Australia.

    Victoria, Australia: There is only one species of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). Koalas are found in eastern Australia from the south in Victoria and South Australia to the north of Queensland. Koalas are laid back animals - they spend about 20 hours a day asleep or resting. Koalas are arboreal marsupials and typically inhabit eucalypt forests. Koalas feed almost exclusively on leaves of specific eucalyptus trees; they eat only 70 of over 600 species of eucalyptus. Together with kangaroos they are the most iconic animals in Australia. This image is from Wild Australia.
