    I shall Add to this, because I like this Idea! Maybe they'd be quite hard to tame (Because they're Kangaroos, and if they are tamed, they can follow one and attack with the player. If one is attacked and others are close enough, they will All, attack. Their attacks would be kicking and punching, (standing on tail when kicking) They'd probably spawn in Savannah Biomes, and, yeah.

    I don't think kangaroo's should be tamable as they're not tamable in the wild. IMO they should be a neutral mob that lives along the edge of deserts where they border grassy landscapes and in Savannah's. There should be three different kinds-Large red roos with the males being as tall as Endermen and the females being as tall as Steve, Grey roos with males as tall as a human and females around the same size (since there isn't too much size variation there) and wallaby's that would be one block tall. They would all carry Jills/Joey's in their pouches (the young roos would look the same since there's not much difference between them until they get older). 

    As far as attacks they'd primarily use their forepaws to punch nad legs to kick out while balancing on their tail (this would cause a LOT more damage). Roos don't use their tail in combat. Bonus attacks could be choking enemies from behind and if they're near water roos can push enemies underwater. As far as roo mobs attacking as one this really doesn't happen. Usually roo mobs will have one roo mob 'boss' who is group alpha. They'll be the biggest male and will be the one doing the majority of combat.

    Plus you can show your support for Australia by having a Kangaroo - and maybe we could ride them

    Maybe you can add that when an adult kangaroo is close to a baby kangaroo, the baby will hop into the adult's pouch. Also, if you tame them, you will get to ride in their pouch, though you can't control them. You also get leather armor-like damage reduction.

    Kangaroos would be better off behaving more realistically. They shouldn't help the player and instead make an effort to protect their young similar to Polar Bear. I find that the unique behavior of Kangaroos is enough to earn their spot in the game, but also the fact that there isn't specific Australian representation. Similar to Pandas representing China, Kangaroos should be added to represent Australia.

    I think these should come to the savanna biome and should come with koalas in an Australia type group of animal.

    Very cool.  Maybe you shouldn't be able to tame them though.
