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.

∙ 12y agoYes, kangaroos do walk, but in a way quite different from the gait of other mammals. They cannot walk in the conventional manner because of the way their body is shaped. When moving slowly, however, kangaroos do have a form of walking. They support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along.
