It depends on the species. Larger kangaroos, such as the red Kangaroo, the Eastern grey and the western grey, tend to travel in groups known as mobs. Smaller members of the kangaroo family, such as wallabies, tend to have smaller family groups, and they do not travel like the larger ones do in search of food.

The smallest species, such as the musky rat-kangaroo, tend to be solitary, and not travel in groups at all.
