Best Answer

Yes, a kangaroo is a consumer.

A producer makes (synthesizes) its own sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Producers include, among others, green plants and (much less conspicuously) bacteria, for example in abundance in mudflats.

Consumers cannot make their own sugars, and eat either producers or other consumers.

Because a kangaroo eats plants and not animals, it is called a first-order consumer.
