The adult kangaroo is featured in the foreground standing on its hind legs with its tail balancing its frame. In the background, a young joey stands in the exact same pose. The red kangaroo is often the focus of the designs in this series. The red kangaroo is the largest of its species and the largest extant marsupial alive today.
