Kangaroos are polygamous, though it depends on the circumstances. males will mate with any number of females. However, within any mob (the name for a group of kangaroos), there can be only one dominant male. The females will only mate with the dominant male, but a younger buck can challenge the head of the mob for this position. If the younger male succeeds in winning the physical challenge, the older male is usually banished from the mob, and the females will now mate only with the new alpha male.

Is the evolutionary process of monogamous species slower than that of polygamous species?
Interesting question. I think the bottleneck here would be the female. Regardless of how many different mates one had it is still the female that has one offspring, or a litter of offspring at a time. Thinking about birds, which have both monogamous and polygamous species, or just mammals in general, one can not really see any great difference in evolutionary processes except sexually selective strategies.
