Best Answer

No. There is no species of kangaroo that migrates: indeed, no native Australian marsupials migrate, but like many native Australian animal species, they are semi-nomadic, moving to where food sources are best. They will sometimes follow the rains to find better food supplies, and in times of drought, they will move further afield in search of food.

Kangaroos do not "migrate" (no native Australian marsupials migrate), but like many animal species, they are semi-nomadic, moving to where food sources are best. They will sometimes follow the rains to find better food supplies, and in times of drought, they will move further afield in search of food. Otherwise, kangaroos tend to remain roughly in the area where they were born, within a few hundred kilometres.
