Anthropomorphic kangaroos and wallabies

female kangaroo in the Winnie-the-Pooh books

Roo is a fictional character created in 1926 by A. A. Milne and first featured in the book Winnie-the-Pooh. He is a young kangaroo (known as a joey) and his mother is Kanga. Like most other Pooh characters, Roo is based on a stuffed toy animal that belonged to Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne. However, he was lost in the 1930s in an apple orchard somewhere in Sussex.
