And we're going to come back and finally talk about how kangaroos hop.
What do you think?
All right, let's do it.
Okay, where I left off, Chuck, I was talking about the fourth toe, and this is the design element that allows the kangaroo to hop.
Because if you look at a kangaroo's foot, the first toe, looking at the kangaroo's foot from the inside of the foot outward,
The first toe is pretty puny, might not even be there.
The second and third toes, they're okay.
They're like smallish and they each have a nail, but they seem to be fused together.
So like webbed toes almost.
Like my sister.
Oh yeah, I didn't know she had webbed toes.
Is she a fast swimmer?
But surely it would have to give you an advantage to some degree.
Well, next time you get a chance to, race her and let me know how it turns out.
Finally, we get to the fourth toe.
And the fourth toe is like just this massive beast of a toe.
And it's in line with the leg bones of the kangaroo's legs.
And this is where the actual hopping begins.
