71. Why Do Kangaroos Hop?

Kangaroos are incredible creatures, and their unique mode of movement is not just fun to watch but also an efficient way for them to get around the vast Australian landscape. Join Mrs. Cindy as she dives into the science behind why hopping is so energy-efficient for kangaroos and how their strong legs, giant feet, and tails are perfectly designed for this movement.
