White Kangaroo ideal for Artists
This kangaroo’s stance is similar to the half penny coin
This sleek smooth Australian Marsupial Kangaroo has been left unpainted, ready for you to make your own mark on this Australian Iconic animal.
This freestanding Kangaroo sculpture is a striking 3D representation of Australia’s most iconic animal, standing proudly with both feet on the ground and balanced by its tail for added stability. While the pose resembles the kangaroo featured on the classic Australian penny, this sculpture is a fully detailed, life-like figure rather than a flat, coin-like depiction.
The kangaroo’s realistic stance captures its strength and agility, showcasing its muscular hind legs and powerful tail. Its unpainted finish allows the natural form and texture of the sculpture to take centre stage, making it a versatile piece suited for both indoor and outdoor displays.
Educational and artistic, this piece is perfect for celebrating Australia’s wildlife, providing a unique way to engage viewers with the history of the kangaroo’s significance in Australian culture and currency. Ideal for schools, public spaces, or private collections, this sculpture blends historical context with modern artistic design.
The anatomy of a kangaroo is crucial to its iconic form and movement, and in the context of this sculpture, each part plays an essential role in creating a realistic and meaningful representation.
- Hind Legs: A kangaroo’s powerful, muscular hind legs are built for leaping, allowing them to cover vast distances with ease. In the sculpture, these legs are designed to reflect the kangaroo’s strength, while their placement on the ground provides a stable, lifelike stance.
- Tail: The kangaroo’s long, strong tail serves as a third point of contact in this sculpture, providing balance and stability, much like it does in real life. The tail is essential for balance when hopping and standing.
- Forearms: Although small, the forearms are critical for movement and self-defence.
- Head and Ears: The sculpture captures the kangaroo’s distinct facial features and upright ears, which are constantly alert. This adds to the lifelike portrayal, allowing viewers to appreciate the kangaroo’s characteristic look.
Each element of this full 3D sculpture is carefully crafted to highlight the physical features of the kangaroo while tying back to its cultural significance in Australia. Perfect for educational purposes or artistic display, the statue helps bring the real-life anatomy of this amazing animal into focus for all.

Did You Know?
Australian kangaroos can hop at speeds of up to 60 km/h (37 mph) and cover up to 8 meters (26 feet) in a single leap! Their powerful hind legs and long tails make them efficient movers, but did you know they can’t walk backwards? This unique feature, along with the emu, is why both animals are featured on the Australian coat of arms—symbolizing a nation always moving forward!
Also Indigenous Australians have had the kangaroo as a totem, a source of food, furs, tools and ornaments, and as a subject of rock art for tens of thousands of years.-
