Kangaroos have an acute sense of hearing because they need to be on the alert for predators. They can twitch their ears around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does.
Since kangaroos feed mostly in the evening or night, they are considered nocturnal. This is not commonly known as they so move about in the daytime as well.
Kangaroos need to be able to detect danger early enough so they can escape. Their large ears act rather like radar. Kangaroos have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does. This gives them plenty of forewarning of danger.
No, kangaroos are alive and well...mostly "down under."
Kangaroos do not have useless ears. Kangaroos have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does. This gives them plenty of forewarning of danger.
No. Kangaroos do not live in the Andes. Kangaroos are found only in Australia, with Tree kangaroos being found on the island of New Guinea as well.
No. Kangaroos are herbivores, so they do not have prey.
My FIRST thought every time i hear Australia is their beautiful accent, I love to hear people from Australia talk. And next thing is their exotic animals like kangaroo's, flamingo's, seal's, wildlife and the sunsets. I hope to see Australia someday. From what I've seen on TV it looks tremendous.

Kangaroos are not slow animals at all. They will move slowly when feeding and grazing, and as they are nocturnal, they tend to be quiet and slow during the day.
They don't hear as well as cats so yes.
Kangaroos are nocturnal, so during the day is when they sleep.
Red kangaroos are the largest of all the kangaroo species, so they are probably also the strongest of the kangaroo species.
