We have kangaroos all around our farm (Tantawangalo, Australia) and I often see them mating.
The male kangaroo is partly aroused when he begins approaching the female - his penis protrudes and is easy to see.
He slowly approaches the female, from behind, and caresses her tail with his 'hands' (more like hands than claws, as they seem capable of expression). It is a gentle motion, a kind of two-handed shake. The female generally hops away a pace, the male approaches again and caresses her tail, she hops away a pace...... this can go on for 10 minutes or more.
If the female continues to resist, the male then approaches the female's face. He rubs his hands together rapidly within her sight, or strokes the grass under her head rapidly, before attempting to caress her ear. This is almost an anguished movement, imploring her to pay attention. It is gentle and insistent. Sometimes the female will respond by reaching out and caressessing the male's ear.
If the female continues to hop away (but rarely more than one hop, one pace) the male will now have lost his erection. However, he usually continues to pursue her by now reverting to an approach from behind followed by a tail caress.
The mating process continues thus until the female allows the male to copulate.

Are kangaroos polygamous or monogamous?
Kangaroos are polygamous, though it depends on the circumstances. males will mate with any number of females. However, within any mob (the name for a group of kangaroos), there can be only one dominant male. The females will only mate with the dominant male, but a younger buck can challenge the head of the mob for this position. If the younger male succeeds in winning the physical challenge, the older male is usually banished from the mob, and the females will now mate only with the new alpha male.
