Looking at a red kangaroo, the most unique aspects are the strong muscular legs and the pouch. The body shape is also very interesting. Doing research on the growth of a joey, I've decided to start off with a baby kangaroo-human hybrid.

Imagine taking a kangaroo embryo, and injecting the nucleus with human cells. What will the embryo grow into after a year? It takes a kangaroo 40 days in the womb and 150 days in the pouch to develop into a somewhat recognizable form. It takes a human being, 270 days in the womb and a few year to develop into a stronger body structure, I picked a number in the middle.

Body structure:
1. First thing I focused on is the legs. They Kangaroo trait: strong muscular legs, with big tendons, long lower legs, bones are structured with bent knees in the relaxing position. Feet and toes resembles more of a kangaroo's. Muscle structure is also more kangaroo like: dense and takes up half the body weight. Ears are large, and flaps because they are not strong enough to stay upright. Hearing are very sensitive. No fur developed yet. Pouch visible, unsure of functionality yet.
2. Human traits: hands and arms shape more like humans.

Feeding:
Mouth and teeth are more like human. The digestive systems are more like human.

Respiratory System:
Lungs are structured like a kangaroo.

Locomotion:
Cannot walk or hop with stability yet. Seems both are capable. Not yet demonstrate ability to walk backwards.

Communication:
In the process of learning English.

Sensory system:
very good hearing
