Most species of kangaroos are herbivores, meaning they do not hunt. These kangaroos eat grasses, new plant shoots and other vegetation.

However, smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.

It is believed that habitat alteration by humans and predation by introduced cats and foxes caused the extinction of the desert rat-kangaroo.

However, it is uncertain whether or not the desert rat kangaroo is truly extinct. It was only discovered in 1843, but disappeared again just as quickly. It was rediscovered briefly in 1931 by Hedley Herbert Finlayson, Curator of Mammals at the South Australian Museum, but has not been seen again since. Some scientists believe that it is a very elusive creature which could still exist in the remote desert.

Despite what many non-Australian websites say, kangaroos do need water regularly, and there is insufficient water for them in the desert. Also, kangaroos are grazing animals, and the vegetation in the desert is not suitable for them. They need fresh grass and young shoots.

Kangaroos have very sensitive hearing. Like cats, they are able to swivel their ears around to pick up sounds, determining distance and direction of the noises.

According to evolutionism, the koala bear could be related to the kangaroo and the wombat, but this theory is spotted with holes, and there is very little research upon the evolution of koala bears. Other studies suggest that the koala didn't evolve, it has just been the koala

The main predators of the tree kangaroo are quolls, dingoes (in Australia) and pythons. Wild dogs are also a major threat. Tree kangaroos of New Guinea are also threatened by the New Guinea harpy eagle.

Definitely not.

The pouch, or "marsupium" of a kangaroo is too small for a person of any size. Although there is a delightful book entitled "Dot and the Kangaroo", in which a young girl is tended by a female kangaroo, riding around in its pouch, it is not possible for a person in real life to do so.

Most animals with pouches belong to the group of mammals known as "marsupials".

However, not all marsupials have pouches, and not all animals with pouches are marsupials. The echidna, for example, develops a rudimentary pouch during the breeding season.

Not unless they feel threatened, like most animals. However, their legs are strong enough to kill a full grown man.

Kangaroos are animals. Animals are largely unpredictable. Kangaroos, like all other animals, have natural means for defending themselves; for a kangaroo two of these defensive features are its large tail and oversized rear legs. Consider what an animal that can move as fast as a kangaroo could do with those legs if it should feel threatened.

There have actually been instances where kangaroos have been known to turn and attack aggressively when threatened. In 2009, an Australian farmer reported that, when his dog chased a kangaroo found drinking from his dam, the kangaroo literally grabbed the dog and held it under water, trying to drown it. The farmer himself was badly scratched when he went out to rescue his dog (the dog survived).

More recently, a 94 year old woman was hanging out washing in her backyard in the small town of Charleville, western Queensland, when a big Red bounded out of the bush and attacked her without reason, causing her to be hospitalised.

However, there have been no reported cases of a kangaroo killing a person.

Kangaroos do not eat the small shrub known as kangaroo paw. Kangaroo paws have tiny, woolly hairs on the flowers, which make the flower taste unpleasant to animals that would eat it. Kangaroos feed on a variety of grasses and the young shoots of native trees.

Yes, just like many other animals, there can be kangaroos which grow white fur.

On occasion, there are even albino kangaroos. This occurs genetically when an animal has no pigment in it's cells, causing the skin and fur to be completely white and the irises in the eye to be red. Albino animals don't survive very long in the wild because their lack or coloring and camoflage makes then very easy targets for predators.

While it is impossible to tell exactly how many koalas die each year, let alone specifically by cars, the Australian Koala Foundation estimates that about 4000 koalas are killed each year by cars or dogs, largely the result of habitat loss and increased housing and industrial developments.

Yes

it releases chemicals into the blood stream which calms the infants

No. Raccoons are placental mammals, not marsupials, so they do not have pouches.

Dingo's, tigers and meat eating marsupials threaten the kangaroos. Not only do they cause competition for kangaroos, but they also are predators to them.

Jumping at a high speed of about 30 miles per hour, a kangaroo can jump about 45 feet. This is about as far as the length of a bus.

roos, drop the 'kanga', add an 's'. If you are not in skippy country, different spelling may apply.

To be able to make laminate pouches, you would need to choose a thickness of the film. You will need to then cut the pouch at a corresponding size to make your laminating pouch.

Many of the 60 or more species of kangaroos can "pause" their pregnancy. This is called "embryonic diapause". The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. This is one of the kangaroo's adaptations for living in a harsh country like Australia.

Culling means that kangaroo numbers are reduced by licenced shooters when their numbers threaten farmers' livelihood. Culling is different from harvesting wild kangaroos, which actively uses the kangaroo meat for the consumer market. Culling is quite a controversial topic, because sometimes, inadvertently, kangaroos are left wounded, not killed, and they may take several days to die.
