特殊能力

能力

Super Hopper

Macropus rufus can travel at high speeds and cover great distances using powerful hind legs that store and release energy with each hop.

能力

Balancing Tail

Macropus rufus uses its long, muscular tail as a counterbalance for stability during high-speed hopping and as a supportive 'fifth leg' when standing.

能力

Joey Nursery Pouch

Macropus rufus mothers have a special abdominal pouch that keeps their baby joeys safe, warm, and fed until they are ready to explore.

能力

Desert Cooler

Macropus rufus can lick its forearms to cool down, as evaporating saliva helps chill the blood flowing close to the skin surface.
