Kangaroos have no natural predators in Australia apart from man and dingoes. Snakes have, on occasion, attempted to eat small joeys, and joeys can certainly be taken by Birds of Prey such as wedge tailed eagles. Sick and injured kangaroos, especially small ones, may be eaten by feral cats, foxes and wild dogs.

Most species of kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, meaning they do not eat animals.

However, smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.

Generally, no. Only smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.

The animals most commonly known as kangaroos do not eat animals as they are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. These kangaroos include the larger red and grey kangaroos, as well as wallaroos, wallabies, quokkas, potoroos and bettongs/rat-kangaroos. Bettongs also eat fungi and tubers.

Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit. Some varieties of tree kangaroo are omnivores, eating insects and other invertebrates. The Goodfellow's tree kangaroo has been known to eat eggs and small birds as well.

Yes, all animals eat.

Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.

Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud.

Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit.

If living in captivity, kangaroos have access to a greater variety of vegetation and grains such as corn. Whilst kangaroos do need water, they can go for some time without direct water, as long as they have enough access to green plants, from which they obtain most of their moisture needs. Without sufficient water, they must move to better grazing grounds.

Dingoes are the main predators of kangaroos. Kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials, and other predators will not seek to bring down an adult kangaroo. The young joeys, however, sometimes venture too far from their mother's pouch and may be taken by eagles, hawks, foxes, feral cats and dogs and even pythons. Sick and injured kangaroos, especially small ones, may be eaten by feral foxes and wild dogs.

The kangaroos on Kangaroo Island are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.

Tree kangaroos, which are not found on Kangaroo Island, eat leaves, and sometimes fruit.
