Can kangaroos walk backwards?

In: Kangaroos and Wallabies [Edit categories]

Answer:

Kangaroos cannot walk backwards. The shape of their body and the length of their strong tail prohibits them from being able to step backwards.

In addition, their legs cannot move independently on land, only when they swim. When walking, kangaroos support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along. It is impossible for them to reverse this motion.
