Kangaroos need water, food, shelter, and air. They need to be adapted to their shelter also. They need a place where there is a lot of grass.
Kangaroos are very adaptable creatures, and will shelter under trees, in caves and under cliff faces. Kangaroos do need to drink regularly, so will not inhabit areas where there are no waterholes, unless the grass is particularly thick and lush. They prefer fresh vegetation, and will move on to new areas when the food in their area runs out.

What is some information about kangaroo rats?
Kangaroo rats are rodents. They are rat-like mammals with long tails and large feet like a miniature kangaroo. However, they are very much smaller than kangaroos, with Giant kangaroo rats having a body length of only 15cm (6 inches). Kangaroo rats are not even remotely related to kangaroos, or rat-kangaroos of Australia. Kangaroo rats are members of the rodent family, not marsupials like kangaroos. They do not have pouches, and they do not live in Australia. Kangaroo rats are found in North America, and inhabit deserts and semi-arid grasslands. They do not need to drink water, obtaining most of their moisture needs from the seeds they eat. The Australian equivalent of kangaroo rats are known as native hopping mice, but they are not at all related either.
