Fast and agile, the kangaroo is one of Australia's most iconic animals. Easily recognizable by its long, powerful hind legs and its large tail which serves as a support, it moves by making great leaps that can reach more than 9 meters.
The kangaroo is a marsupial: the female carries her young, called a "joey", in a ventral pouch where it safely completes its growth.
A baby kangaroo is called a joey. This term comes from a word used colloquially in Australia, itself derived from an Aboriginal language, where it means "small animal".
An astonishing fact: this mammal can slow down or suspend the development of an embryo if conditions are unfavorable, a unique adaptation in the animal kingdom. A herbivore, it feeds mainly on grasses and young shoots that it grazes on the plains.This Papo figurine realistically depicts a kangaroo: powerful muscles, an expressive head, and a dynamic pose. It's an ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories from Australia, or introduce children to the diversity of wildlife around the world.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
