The Kangaroo feet are more than just something that helps them move from A to B at an incredible pace, they help defend their mob by banging their feet on the ground to send a warning out to the rest as well as kick their opponents. They are tough enough to damage an opponent but soft enough not to cause the soil to compact leaving it healthy. The Kangaroo also doesn’t move backwards normally like others which isn’t really effective, but it does make it the symbol of “Forward Progress” in the country of Australia.
