Jimmy the Kangaroo

“	Beat that!	„
	~ Jimmy, taunting Joey.

Jimmy

Jimmy the Kangaroo is is the son of Julie who lives in the Australian outback.

Physical Appearance

Jimmy is a diminutive-sized kangaroo joey who has a coloration of pale gray skin all around his body and has a pair of buck teeth to give him a distinguished appearance from Joey.

Personality

Being the son of Julie, Jimmy initially showed a rude personality to Joey by pulling his ear and taunting him. During Joey's first jump, he and the other kangaroos taunted Joey for his inability to jump; however, to Joey's confidence, he was able to jump and beat Jimmy, resulting in his failure. In later appearances, Jimmy is often seen with Joey and a koala named "Phoebe", which might give a hint that at some point unknown that Jimmy stopped being enemies with Joey and has become friends with him after winning the jumping competition to see which kangaroo jumps the highest.

Trivia

• Jimmy is one of the few characters who was originally antagonistic to the good characters but later never shows an antagonistic personality to them (in this case, Joey). This is because he and Phoebe are the sidekicks of Joey.
• He is based on a gray kangaroo, just like his mother.
• He, along with Julie and Horace, are the only characters in the series to have buck teeth.
