During periods of drought, a female kangaroo loses the ability to conceive. As necessary resources are again available to the population, a female regains the ability to have offspring. In good conditions, a female gives birth annually. Humans are the primary threat to kangaroos, as they hunt the animal for its meat and hide.
Other human activities also pose a threat to kangaroos. As human activity increases, kangaroo habitat decreases. Therefore, human-kangaroo conflicts are more common. For example, kangaroo is more likely to be attacked by a dog or hit by a car as humans expand into kangaroo habitat. Kangaroos face few natural predators, aside from humans and wild dogs called dingoes. Heat, drought, and hunger due to vanishing habitat are among the largest threats to kangaroos.
Bush Heritage Australia has kangaroos on most of their reserves and partnership properties. They help kangaroos by reducing competition, such as by removing stock and controlling feral herbivores. They also control feral predators. On many of their properties, they remove artificial watering points to return the landscape, including kangaroo numbers, to a more natural level.
Skip to main content Skip to footer site map. Kangaroo: a marsupial from the family Macropodidae. Appearance: The kangaroo has powerful hind legs and large feet, and a large muscular tail to keep it balanced while in motion. Diet: Kangaroos are herbivores that eat a wide range of plants.
Geography: The kangaroo is endemic to Australia. Kangaroos are most active between dusk and dawn, as they search for their favourite foods: grass, as well as leaves, ferns, flowers, fruit and moss. Like cattle, they regurgitate their food , chewing it twice before it passes through their chambered stomach. Kangaroos need free water to survive; however, when desperate they're known to dig holes a metre deep in search of water.
Kangaroos have few natural predators: Dingoes , humans, Wedge-tailed Eagles and, before their extermination, Tasmanian Tigers. Introduced carnivores, such as wild dogs and foxes prey on the young, and introduced herbivores compete with kangaroos for food.
European settlement has actually been positive for several kangaroo species because of: the introduction of permanent water sources bores , tanks and dams ; the provision of pasture grasses ; the extinction of Tasmanian Tigers and the extermination of Dingoes across vast landscapes. We have kangaroos on most of our reserves and partnership properties, including Antilopine Kangaroos on Wunambal Gumberra country Western Australia and Warddeken Northern Territory.
We favour kangaroos by reducing competition removing stock and controlling feral herbivores and also control feral predators. On many properties we remove artificial watering points to return the landscape, including kangaroo numbers, to a more natural level.
