Most kangaroos are herbivorous, but some are also insectivorous.

They are active especially at dusk and at night. Their predators are dingoes and dogs, since their main predator, the Tasmanian tiger, disappeared. When food is lacking, eagles gather to hunt them, as well as reptiles for smaller species. To fight the dogs, one of their favorite tactics is to go into the water and drown the attacker; they can also use their feet for fighting in the savannah. Jumping mammals do not have a particular cry, although they may growl or emit a cough-like sound. In some cases, they may be blown, a bit like cats. Females can call their offspring by emitting tongue clicks. However, the most common sound that kangaroos produce is that of their legs hitting the ground hard to warn their kangaroos of a hazard.

The kangaroo moves are good, their speed is variable, generally it is about 20 to 30 km/h in cruising and they can then travel long distances by making small jumps. They can also make spectacular jumps, up to 3. 5 metres high and 13 metres of lont. In the event of a danger, in open terrain in front of a predator for example, they may flee at higher speeds, of the order of 50 to 60 km/h on average and 80 km/h at maximum speed.
