A marsupial is a kind of mammal. A kangaroo is a kind of marsupial. Therefore, a kangaroo is both a marsupial and a mammal. Though, they are technically considered a marsupial, because it is a more specific sub-class than the broad term mammals.

Yes, kangaroos are marsupials. They are characterised by having very undeveloped young which continue their development in the mother's pouch. Like other marsupials, female kangaroos have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female kangaroos have two fallopian tubes and two cervixes.

A kangaroo is a marsupial, one of 3 types of mammals.

It is a mammal because it has fur and it feeds milk to its joeys (its babies).
