Kangaroo Emoji
What does the Kangaroo emoji mean?
A kangaroo shown either standing on its hind legs or caught mid-jump, facing left. Usually illustrated with a light brown coat, it is widely used as a symbol of Australia.
This distinctive marsupial is found only in Australia, just like the koala. Kangaroos have powerful hind legs and a strong tail, and they’re famous for their ability to box with their forepaws. The emoji is shown in a warm orange shade.
A national symbol of Australia, the kangaroo moves by hopping. Male kangaroos can be very aggressive and often fight one another. If you want to talk about boxing or Australia, use this emoji in your chat!
