Best Answer

Kangaroos have behavioural and structural adaptations for eating. Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. They are 'crepuscular', feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset.

Kangaroos also bite off the tips and shoots of young trees. 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.

They are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud.
