Kangaroos Are the Largest Marsupials on Earth
Kangaroos are the largest marsupials alive today. The largest species of kangaroo (by weight) is the red kangaroo, which can stand more than five feet tall not including a three-foot-long tail and weigh 180 pounds. Eastern gray kangaroos can be taller, with some adult males reaching nearly seven feet, but they're also leaner, only weighing up to 120 pounds. Red, eastern gray, and western gray kangaroos are the most common species.
