Boyh species of Grey kangaroos are large marsupials, second in size only to the Red kangaroo, and thus adults have no natural enemies. Dingoes are the greatest threat to these kangaroos, but few dingoes will take on a healthy adult which can easily outrun them, and defend itself with its powerful hind legs. One of the kangaroo's main enemies is man, who hunts and kills them and threatens their habitat.
Eagles, hawks and other Birds of Prey may take young joeys, and joeys can also fall prey to quolls, which are cat-sized carnivorous marsupials, and introduced species such as foxes and feral cats.
