What is another word for kangaroo hare?
Pronunciation: [kˈaŋɡɐɹˌuː hˈe͡ə] (IPA) 
The kangaroo hare, also known as the musky rat-kangaroo, is a small marsupial that is endemic to the rainforests of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Synonyms for this creature include the rat kangaroo, bandicoot rat, and the kangaroo rat. Although it is referred to as a hare due to its hopping gait and anatomical similarities, the kangaroo hare is not closely related to true hares or rabbits. It has a stocky body, large hind legs, and a bushy tail. These unique features enable it to move quickly through the dense underbrush of the rainforest while foraging for its preferred diet of insects, fruits, and seeds.
