Kangaroos use their tails for balance while hopping. If you elevate their tail, they will lose balance and fall over.
There are cases where kangaroos have lost their tails and can still move around. But it took them a long time to adjust, and they can only move small distances at a time!
Their tails aren’t only for balance – they also act as a third leg, propelling them forward just as much as their legs do!
