Scientists previously thought hopping was impossible for Protemnodon goliah.

Giant kangaroos that lived during the Ice Age may not have been as slow and grounded as once believed. A new study finds ...

Research for first time suggests tendon and bones in heavier species would have made bounding possible ...

Giant ancestors of modern-day kangaroos—which previous research has estimated could weigh up to 250 kilograms—may have been ...

The paper also said that giant kangaroos probably did not rely on jumping for every movement because that would have been ...

Study shows how kangaroos achieve greater energetic efficiency when hopping fast, presenting new approaches for further investigation into kangaroo and macropod kinematics Researchers have taken a ...

Hopping has evolved multiple times in the animal kingdom. Think grasshoppers, frogs, rabbits. But maybe the bounciest of the group would be kangaroos, which can hop and hop and hop with amazing ...

You may think that you know everything there is to learn about kangaroos. But do you know what they eat, how fast they can hop, or which hand they favor? If not, you’re in the right place. We have 10 ...

The evolutionary history of kangaroos, which are the only hopping animals with body masses greater than 5kg, cannot be understood without considering the origins of their diverse locomotor behaviours, ...

Scientists have been curious about how kangaroos evolved to hop with such efficiency. To investigate that, researchers turned to a sort of evolutionary second-cousin of the kangaroo, the musky ...
