The Folkmanis small kangaroo hand puppet is so cute you’ll want to take it everywhere in your pocket. This expressive juvenile joey has a long tail and bouncy big ears.
Kangaroos (Macropodidae) range across Australia from eucalypt woodland to the dry outback, living on grasses and herbs. Their hind legs work like springs: elastic tendons store energy on landing and release it into the next bound, so hopping fast costs barely more effort than hopping slowly. While grazing at a walk, the heavy tail takes the weight and pushes the body forward, serving as a fifth leg. The young joey grows up inside the pouch and later leans in with just its head to feed.
Did you know that a kangaroo cannot walk backwards? Its heavy tail and the way the hind joints are built simply will not allow it. That is exactly why the kangaroo and the emu, which also cannot back up, appear on the Australian coat of arms – a country that only moves forward.
