Montroll's Kangaroo

Montroll's Kangaroo is an intermediate-to-advanced design that requires comfort with complex folding sequences. The model captures the kangaroo's pouch and powerful hind legs from a single uncut square of paper.

Yes, Montroll's design specifically incorporates the kangaroo's distinctive pouch along with its elongated hind legs. These features are achieved from a single sheet without any cuts.

The design was created by John Montroll, an American origami author renowned for his single-sheet, no-cut animal models. He is one of the most prolific and influential origami designers published in English.

The model works best with paper that holds creases sharply while remaining foldable at multiple layers. Standard kami is fine for practice, while papers like Tant or mulberry paper are good choices for a finished model.
