About the Red Kangaroo
The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest marsupial in the world, with adult males standing over 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and weighing up to 200 pounds (90 kg). Native to the arid and semi-arid interior of Australia, red kangaroos are built for covering long distances across open terrain using their powerful hind legs and elongated feet. They are strict herbivores, feeding on grasses and shrubs, and their skulls reflect this diet, with broad molars designed for grinding vegetation and large, forward-facing incisors used for cropping plants.
Skull Production
This replica was produced using a high-resolution 3D scan of an authentic Macropus rufus skull. It is cast in durable resin and hand-finished to emphasize key anatomical features, including the zygomatic arches, dental rows, and nasal cavity. The result is a scientifically accurate and visually impactful model that offers detailed insight into marsupial skull morphology.
