-Kangaroos cool themselves with "saliva baths" which is where they lick their whole body
-Kangaroos also pant to dissipate heat, very similar to dogs
-They will sweat but very rarely, and it will only happen when they are in locomotion
-Kangaroos are one of the only animals that use hopping as their main form of movement
-It takes lots of energy to start hopping, but after it begins they automatically bounce back up like a pogo stick
-The groups they live in are called "mobs"
-Can jump up to 10 ft. high, 25 ft. long, and can hop as fast as 35-40 mph for short bursts
-The reason kangaroos must hop is because their legs cannot move independently of each other
