Kangaroos need to be able to detect danger early enough so they can escape. Their large ears act rather like radar. Kangaroos have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does. This gives them plenty of forewarning of danger.

∙ 10y agoSome kangaroos do have long ears. The kangaroo's ear length varies according to its species. The ears of large species such as the Red kangaroo, Eastern Grey or Western Grey can be up to 11 cm long. However, quokkas, which are smaller members of the kangaroo family, have much smaller rounded ears.

Kangaroo's, and all mammalian ears, help the animals to determine the location of the sound source, and to enhance this sense by gathering sound energy and directing it to the inner ear.

How does a kangaroo use its ears to catch things?
The kangaroo does not use its ears to catch anything. To begin with, the ears are not prehensile, and all they can do is rotate to listen carefully for predators. Secondly, very few species of kangaroos are anything but omnivores. No doubt the bettongs and musky rat-kangaroos which are omnivores use their ears to carefully listen for the movement of invertebrates, but that is completely the extent to which any kangaroo will use its ears for catching food.
