Kangaroo

"Marsupial"

The red kangaroo has been classified at each taxonomic level.

The species is Eukaryotic because it contains a membrane bound nucleus.

Kangaroos are endemic to Australia, although the tree-kangaroo is also found in New Guinea. 

The reproduction starts off with an egg which descends from the ovary into the uterus. In the uterus, it is fertilized quickly into a neonate. When it is born, it is born hairless and blind, usually about 33 centimeters long.

They eat mostly vegetation.

Can a kangaroo jump higher than the Empire State Building?

DUH. The Empire State Building can't jump.
