This depends on the species of kangaroo.

Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals. Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud.

Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit.

If living in captivity, kangaroos have access to a greater variety of vegetation and grains such as corn. Whilst kangaroos do need water, they can go for some time without direct water, as long as they have enough access to green plants, from which they obtain most of their moisture needs. Without sufficient water, they must move to better grazing grounds.

Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.
