Their average life expectancy in the wild is 10 - 20 years or more.

     Kangaroos will eat shoots and leaves from shrubs and grass trees. They usually spend their days laying around in the shade, coming out at night to graze on food. A female kangaroo gives birth to one joey at a time inside her pouch for six months and then it ventures out. Males engage in a form of "boxing" when females go into heat. Biting and clawing can also occur to fend off opponents.
