What are 2 predators of the kangaroo?

Answer 1

Dingoes hunt some of the smaller kangaroos. Man is a greater danger to the kangaroo than dingoes are. They used to have another similar-sized predator, the Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian tiger), but they are now extinct from the mainland and probably from the island of Tasmania.

As larger kangaroos are herbivores they don't hunt, therefore have no prey. Smaller species of kangaroos such as musky rat-kangaroos prey on small invertebrates such as earthworms and grasshoppers.

Answer 2

Kangaroo predators include dingoes and wedgetail eagles.

Introduced predators such as foxes, wild dogs and feral cats are a threat to joeys.

Smaller kangaroos, such as wallabies, rat-kangaroos (not kangaroo rats), potoroos, pademelons and bettongs are preyed upon by quolls and pythons.

Answer 3

The animal most commonly recognised as a kangaroo is not a predator. Most members of the kangaroo family are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.

However, smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, and therefore predators. Besides eating fruits, seeds and fungi, they also eat insect larvae and prey on small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.

Answer 5

Dingoes are the main predators of kangaroos. Kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials, and other predators will not seek to bring down an adult kangaroo. The young joeys, however, sometimes venture too far from their mother's pouch and may be taken by eagles, hawks, foxes, feral cats and dogs and even pythons. Sick and injured kangaroos, especially small ones, may be eaten by feral foxes and wild dogs.
