Best Answer

Red 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.

Red kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud.

Red kangaroos need access to water to survive. They cannot survive on just the food they eat for sufficient moisture, despite what some websites may report.

Dingoes are the main predators of red kangaroos. Red kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials, and other predators will not seek to bring down an adult kangaroo. The young joeys, however, sometimes venture too far from their mother's pouch and may be taken by eagles, hawks, foxes, feral cats and dogs and even pythons. Sick and injured red kangaroos, especially small ones, may be eaten by feral foxes and wild dogs.

Red kangaroos are the largest marsupials, and have few native predators. Dingoes, which are relative newcomers to the Australian continent, are the main predators of kangaroos. Generally, predators will not seek to bring down an adult kangaroo. The young joeys, however, sometimes venture too far from their mother's pouch and may be taken by eagles, hawks and even pythons.
