Kangaroos do not eat the small shrub known as kangaroo paw. Kangaroo paws have tiny, woolly hairs on the flowers, which make the flower taste unpleasant to animals that would eat it. Kangaroos feed on a variety of grasses and the young shoots of native trees.

What do albino kangaroos eat?

Albino kangaroos, if they survive to adulthood, eat exactly the same as other kangaroos. There is no species known as 'albino kangaroo': an albino is just a Red or Grey kangaroo with an absence of pigment, or melanin. Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.
