SCHLEICH 14756 Kangaroo Figure There are 65 kangaroo species – ranging from the small tree kangaroo to the red giant kangaroo, which is the largest of all. When it stands upright, it is as tall as an adult human. These marsupials have a kind of rubber band in their hind legs. It propels them upwards with each jump. The faster a kangaroo bounces, the farther the animal is “catapulted” forwards, and the less energy it consumes. Dimensions 4.5 x 1.4 x 2.6 inch (W x D x H) Suggested age suitability 3 years and upwards.EU Warning: Not suitable for children under the age of 3 years due to small parts which could cause a choking hazard.
