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.
Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud.
Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit.
Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.

∙ 14y agoKangaroos do not need to drink much water, but they do need to drink. Many websites will erroneously state that kangaroos can go for months without water. This is incorrect.
Unlike koalas (which rarely drink water) kangaroos do need water regularly. There are some small, burrowing species of marsupials which do not need to drink water, but the larger members of the kangaroo family need access to fresh water. This include species such as the Red kangaroos, Grey Kangaroos, Wallaroos, Wallabies, Potoroos, Rat-Kangaroos, Bettongs and so on.
The marsupials commonly known as kangaroos do not inhabit the sandy desert, although they do live in semi-arid areas, so they get their water in the same way as other native species in Australia do. They may drink from waterholes, billabongs, creeks or rivers, or drink the dew from grass in the early morning.
