∙ 9y agoKangaroos are nocturnal, but they are also crepuscular. This means that they feed at dawn and dusk. Red kangaroos begin to come out in the late afternoon, continuing into the night, and this is when Australian outback roads are at their most dangerous, as collisions with kangaroos can cause major damage to a car.
