The next animal I'm looking for should be no stranger to you.
Faster than an Olympic sprinter and able to bound the length of two cars in a single stride, it's the red kangaroo.
Let's see if we can get a little closer.
The kangaroo has extremely good hearing.
Look at the size of this animal.
So just over here is the red kangaroo, the biggest kangaroo species in the world.
In fact, it is the biggest marsupial in the world today.
In the ancient past, much larger kangaroos actually lived here in Australia, but it is this red kangaroo that has persisted through time to survive here in the desert.
Food and water can be far apart from one another in the desert, and out here, there's no home delivery, so kangaroos are constantly on the move.
With efficiency at a premium, the kangaroo has evolved a way to move that's unlike any other animal on earth.
