In ideal conditions, the gestation period of a Red kangaroo is 33 days. In reality, however, pregnancy length may differ. An adult female Red kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. This is called embryonic diapause. It may last many months.

The average lifespan of a Red kangaroo is between 12 and 16 years. They have been known to live longer in captivity - up to 20 years - due to the absence of dangerous predators.
