Long jump record holder

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo can jump up to 13.5 meters and two to three meters high. Elastic bands store most of the kinetic energy for their next jump. Eastern Grey Kangaroos are among the best jumpers in the animal kingdom.

Kangaroos populate the bush of Australia in large numbers and mostly feed on grass. As a result, they compete with imported livestock and are therefore frequently hunted by farmers. Meanwhile, many marsupial species in Australia have already been eradicated.
