Why do jumping animals have small feet and long legs, and how are large and small animals able to jump the sam

Question

this question is in relation to the mechanics of a locusts jump

Answer 1

Kangaroos have large feet.

The muscles in the leg make animals that jump better at it than others. Legs have more to do with it than foot size. The longer and more powerful the legs the more power the animal has.
