Kangaroo

For the pet counterpart to this animal, see Pet Joey.

The Kangaroo is a members-only land animal that was released on July 25, 2013. It can be purchased at the Diamond Shop or with an exclusive gift card only available in Australia and New Zealand. When it was officially released, it was released alongside Kimbara Outback. They started traveling on September 17, 2015, which means they are no longer sold in the Diamond Shop and won't return for awhile.

Default Appearance
 Kangaroos have lavender fur with a cream-colored underside, rose pink ear-insides and emerald eyes.

Actions
Sit: Sits leaning back with paws on stomach and one foot up, as if leaning against something.

Hop: Hops far up, does a back flip, and lands.

Dance: Moonwalks backwards then jumps and turns into starting position.

Play: Rolls back on spine and flings itself into a flip.

Sleep: Is in the same position as sitting, but head is down and rocks slowly.
