Kangas are an alien kangaroo-like species used as mounts by the Amazons of Paradise Island. The Kangas came in two kinds: regular Kangas and slightly larger Kangas, which were capable of limited flight through bouncing.
History
The Kangas were originally used by the Sky Riders, who were Amazons from the extinct flaming planet of Nebulosta, a race of alien warrior women who sported cat masks and men's clothing. After their invasion of Paradise Island was thwarted by a 7-year-old Princess Diana, Queen Hippolyta decided to absorb the homeless space women into the Amazon nation — after a stint on Reform Island — and they kept the Kangas, as they were superior to their Saddle Rabbit mounts.[1][2]
