Kangaroo habits

Kangaroos are herbivores, eating a variety of plants, and some also eat fungi. Most of them are active at night, but some are active in the early morning or evening.

Kangaroos live on short, moist grass close to the ground, leaving long grass and hay to other animals. Individual species of kangaroos also eat leaves or small tree teeth.

The "racial discrimination" in the kangaroo family is very serious. They can't tolerate foreign members entering the family, and even family members coming back after a long time out are not welcome.

Even if the family accepts new members, it should be taught a lesson. Only after the new members learn many "rules" can they be integrated with the family.

Kangaroos usually live in groups, sometimes as many as hundreds. But some smaller species of kangaroos live alone.

kangaroos can't walk, they can only jump, or run and jump with the help of their front legs and hind legs. Kangaroos are nocturnal animals. They usually come out for food a few hours after sunset, and return to their nests shortly after sunrise.

In the wild, when kangaroos are chased by enemies, they have their own unique counterattack methods. They put their backs to the trees, their tails on the ground, and kicked the running enemy in the abdomen with their powerful hind legs. However, in the zoo, kangaroos are relatively tame and honest animals.

They are taken good care of, eat nutritious feed and get used to life in the zoo. In cold weather, I moved into a greenhouse with big glass windows to live.
