Kangaroo’s are strict herbivores that eat green vegetation. Their diet consists of grass, flowering plants, forbs, and leaves from shrubs.
They can go long periods without drinking water. They get most of their moisture directly from the plants they eat.
The red kangaroo is a very large kangaroo with long, pointed ears and a square shaped muzzle. They have short, red-brown fur, fading to pale buff below and on the limbs. Females are blue-grey with a brown tinge, with a pale gray undercoat.
They have two short forelimbs with small claws. They have two very muscular hind limbs used for jumping, fighting and transportation. They often use their strong tail to create a tripod when they stand upright.
They can reach speeds of about 37 miles per hour. The males can cover about 30 feet in one leap and heights of 6 to 9 feet.
Males grow to a head-and-body length of about 5.2 feet. Their tail adds another 3.9 feet. Females are considerably smaller. They have a head-and body length of about 3.4 feet. Their tail length adds another 2.75 feet.
Females give birth to one baby. They can birth twins as well. The tiny newborn is called a joey. A mother can look after three generations of young at once. She can have one in her womb, one in her pouch, and one outside the pouch.
