Yes, kangaroos are grazing animals and they need strong teeth for chewing the grass they eat. The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth.

What is the simalarites and differences between cows kangaroo and crocodiles teeth?
Yes - very much so. Kangaroos are grazing animals and they need strong teeth for chewing the grass they eat. The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth. Monkeys are not grazing animals, and they do not feed on coarse vegetation, so their teeth are sharper and narrower than kangaroos' teeth.

Do marsupials have teeth?
Most marsupials have sharp teeth at the very front, whether they are herbivores (like wombats and koalas) or carnivores (like Tasmanian devils and quolls). Some then have grinding molars further back. Kangaroos' teeth are different again. Kangaroos are grazing animals and they need strong teeth for chewing the grass they eat. The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth.
How have kangaroos adapted to eat grasses etc?
Kangaroos are quite different to other grass eaters. By its nature and structure, grass is abrasive on an animal's teeth. Many grazing animals have molars with open roots which grow continuously throughout the animal's life, so the teeth never wear down completely. Kangaroos do not have this open root structure. Instead, they have four pairs of cheek teeth on both sides, and only their front pairs of teeth are worn by chewing the tough grass. When these front teeth are worn down to the roots, they fall out and the next pair of teeth move forward to replace them. By the time the animal reaches the age of fifteen or twenty years, it is down to its last pair of teeth.
