Indeed, their trademark hopping is actually only really when stressed/startled.

Many of the animal sanctuaries in zoos in Australia actually have little signs telling visitors not to be disappointed if they don't see the animals actually hopping: "Laying down and sunbathing, and the slow walk with their tail is a sign of relaxation and a lack of stress on the animal."

Oh. I did see one hopping across a local park. I didnt realize it might be stressed. I assumed like a dog they like to run.
