The kangaroo is a camsupial belonging to the kangaroo order found mainly in parts of mainland Australia and Papua New Guinea. Some of these species are unique to Australia. Different species of kangaroos live in a variety of different natural environments in Australia, from the rainforests and desert plains of cooler climates to the tropics. Kangaroos are the mammals that jump the highest and farthest.

"Kangaroo" sometimes refers to all marsupials, and the word kangaroo was later named by Joseph Banks on James Cook's first voyage trip.
