Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Discovery Island
All Ages
Marvel at the astonishing strength and speed of these magnificent marsupials!
Living in large groups called mobs, kangaroos rely on their muscular bodies, long tails and broad feet to get around. Their powerful hindlegs help them reach speeds exceeding 30 miles per hour (48 kph)—faster than most riding horses!
Native to Australia, these hearty mammals can be found across the country, from its grasslands and deserts to its forests and plains. Like all marsupials, young kangaroos—or “joeys”—continue growing after they are born in a special stomach pouch on their mother’s belly, which they can leave for short periods of time to learn, play and explore!
As you stroll along Discovery Island Trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, be on the lookout for these marvelous mammals. You may spot a western gray kangaroo foraging in the foliage or a red kangaroo—the largest marsupial on the planet—lounging in the grass.
The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature as a global community.
