The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "suspend" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished.
The mother can also produce two different types of milk to suit the needs of two different aged joeys. She might have a more mature joey that spends less time in the pouch, while a very young embryo has attached itself to a teat. Each joey has different milk requirements - which the mother is able to supply.

- Kangaroos are more active in the cooler hours of the early morning and the late afternoon. During the heat of the day they are more sedentary, lying around quietly and chewing their cud.
- They travel and feed in mobs, largely as a protective adaptation.
- Male kangaroos will fight each other for dominance in a mob. Females will only mate with the dominant male.
