The kangaroo along with the koala are symbols of Australia. A kangaroo appears on the Australian coat of arms [6] and on some of its currency, [7] and is used as a logo for some of Australia's most well-known organisations, such as Qantas, [8] and as the roundel of the Royal Australian Air Force. [9] The kangaroo is important to both Australian culture and the national image, and consequently there are numerous popular culture references. tree-kangaroos: ranging from Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo: body and head length of 48–65cm, tail of 60–74cm, weight of 7.2kg (16lb) for males and 5.9kg (13lb) for females; to the grizzled tree-kangaroo: length of 75–90cm (30 to 35 in) and weight of 8–15kg (18–33lb); Red Kangaroo".

ISSN 0310-0049. Despite having herbivorous diets similar to ruminants such as cattle, which release large quantities of digestive methane through exhaling and eructation (burping), kangaroos release virtually none. The hydrogen byproduct of fermentation is instead converted into acetate, which is then used to provide further energy. Scientists are interested in the possibility of transferring the bacteria responsible for this process from kangaroos to cattle, since the greenhouse gas effect of methane is 23 times greater than carbon dioxide per molecule.

Kangaroos have single-chambered stomachs quite unlike those of cattle and sheep, which have four compartments. [37] [38] They sometimes regurgitate the vegetation they have eaten, chew it as cud, and then swallow it again for final digestion. However, this is a different, more strenuous, activity than it is in ruminants, and does not take place as frequently. [39] The initial description of the species by A.G. Desmarest was published in 1822. The type location was given as an unknown location west of the Blue Mountains. Kangaroos dazzled by headlights or startled by engine noise often leap in front of vehicles, severely damaging or destroying smaller or unprotected vehicles. The risk of harm to vehicle occupants is greatly increased if the windscreen is the point of impact. As a result, "kangaroo crossing" signs are commonplace in Australia. The red kangaroo's range of vision is approximately 300° (324° with about 25° overlap), due to the position of its eyes.

S2CID 4001525.Kangaroos are four marsupials from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning "large foot"). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the red kangaroo, as well as the antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo. [1] Kangaroos are indigenous to Australia and New Guinea. The Australian government estimates that 42.8million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2019, down from 53.2million in 2013. [2] The eastern grey kangaroo ( Macropus giganteus) [22] is less well-known than the red (outside Australia), but the most often seen, as its range covers the fertile eastern part of the country. The range of the eastern grey kangaroo extends from the top of the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland down to Victoria, as well as areas of southeastern Australia and Tasmania. Population densities of eastern grey kangaroos usually peak near 100 per km 2 in suitable habitats of open woodlands. Populations are more limited in areas of land clearance, such as farmland, where forest and woodland habitats are limited in size or abundance. [23] Wild kangaroos are shot for meat, leather hides, and to protect grazing land. [10] Kangaroo meat has perceived health benefits for human consumption compared with traditional meats due to the low level of fat on kangaroos. [11] Terminology
