The Eastern Gray Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a large marsupial found in eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of the most iconic Australian animals, known for its powerful hind legs, long feet, and large tail, all of which are adapted for jumping. The Eastern Gray Kangaroo is a herbivore, primarily grazing on grasses. It plays a significant role in the ecosystem, affecting vegetation and serving as prey for predators.
