Pygmy Kangaroo

The pygmy kangaroo is the smallest member of the kangaroo family. It measures about 30-40 cm in height and weighs only a few kilograms. This marsupial is adapted to live in tropical and subtropical forests of Australia, where it uses its long tail for balance. It feeds on grass, leaves, seeds, and fruits, using short jumps to move through vegetation. The pygmy kangaroo is a shy animal that avoids open areas and prefers to stay hidden in dense vegetation.
