Most species of kangaroo feed on grasses and fresh, young shoots on shrubs and trees. Tree kangaroos enjoy fruit, while the very small Musky Rat-kangaroo (the smallest member of the kangaroo family) is an omnivore, eating fungi, grains and insect larvae.
The young of all types of kangaroos (joeys) remain in the mother's pouch, or marsupium, while they develop, and until they are independent enough to live outside the pouch. They feed entirely on mothers' milk for many months.
