Being herbivores, kangaroos do not have prey. They feed on grasses and leaves.

Predators of kangaroos, on the other hand, are dingoes. Eagles, hawks and other Birds of Prey may take young joeys.

One of the kangaroo's main enemies is man, who hunts and kills them and threatens their habitat.

Kangaroos used to have another big predator, the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, which once roamed the mainland as well as Tasmania. Thylacines are now extinct.
