Best Answer

Kangaroos are not killed for their meat in captivity. Kangaroos are not farmed for any purpose anywhere in the world. Kangaroo meat is harvested from wild populations in selected areas of Australia, by specially licenced and government-instructed harvesters.

How does a mother kangaroo get meat for its young?

Kangaroos are not meat-eaters. The mother kangaroo suckles the joeys for up to nine months. When the joey is old enough to leave the pouch for short periods of time, it begins to try out grass and vegetation for itself. The mother never gets food for it. Omnivorous kangaroos such as rat-kangaroos (not the same as kangaroo rats) also collect insect larvae for themselves once they are old enough to leave the pouch. Again, the mother never collects it for them.


How old is a kangaroo when it becomes an adult?

This depends on the species of kangaroo. For the animal generally recognised as a kangaroo, e.g. the Red kangaroo or either species of the Grey kangaroo, the joey becomes an adult between the ages of twelve months and sixteen months. This is the age at which it no longer returns to its mother to suckle.
