There are over 60 species of kangaroos, and their life span varies according to their species. The larger species live the longest, and their average life expectancy in the wild is 10 - 15 years. In captivity, some species have been said to live to 20 years or more.
They usually have a life span of about 9-18 years, but may live to be up to 28 years old.
This depends on the species of kangaroo. For the animal generally recognised as a kangaroo, e.g. the Red kangaroo or either species of the Grey kangaroo, the joey becomes an adult between the ages of twelve months and sixteen months. This is the age at which it no longer returns to its mother to suckle.
The joey is in the mother kangaroo's pouch for about eight months (235 days), depending on the species. The young Joey continues to suckle until it is about 12 months old.
As every animal goes through puberty , so does kangaroo. It might change from kangaroo to kangaroo, but when they have lived 1/6th of their lives, they hit puberty.
Kangaroo usually live in groups called mobs. The old or weak are left behind if the mob has to move long distances for food.
None. A kangaroo joey cannot survive on its own. It must be at least a year old.
A baby kangaroo cannot jump at 5 months old. At this stage, it does not even leave the pouch. A baby kangaroo only begins to venture from its mother's pouch at 6 months of age, and at this stage it walks, rather than jumps.
At birth, a red kangaroo weighs just one gram. It is about 2cm in length, and completely dependent on its mother.
Kangaroos do not live to sixty years old.
The reproduction rate of a kangaroo is that a male and female kangaroo become sexually mature around 2 years old. After they start breeding, they have 1 joey a year until they are around 12 years old.
It's not a pocket, it's a pouch but the baby stays there for protection from things in the outside world such as predators. The joey (baby kangaroo) stays in the pouch until it is old enough to fend for itself

A kangaroo rat (not to be confused with the rat-kangaroo of Australia) is able to reproduce by the time they are 32-56 days old. They are considered fully grown between the ages of two and a half months and four months.
The oldest and most accurate answer is 1300 years old.
The joey is in the mother kangaroo's pouch for about eight months (235 days), depending on the species. The young Joey continues to suckle until it is about 12 months old.
