Best Answer

Kangaroos do not live just in family groups, but they live in large groups usually referred to as mobs. These mobs comprise one dominant male, junior males and a larger number of females. Junior males will challenge the dominant male for his position, and the defeated male will leave to find another mob. Kangaroos are not solitary animals.
