Most kangaroos eat plants.Red kangaroos and gray kangaroos graze on grasses and other plants in forests and savannas (plains).The swamp wallaby,tree kangaroo,wallaroo,and other medium size kangaroos eat leaves,shoots,and twigs in the forests where they live.Small kangaroos,such as rat kangaroos and bettongs,eat both plants and small animals.
Kangaroos can digest plant material that is high in fiber and low in protein.Like cows and other hoofed animals,kangaroos have stomachs with several chambers.Bacteria in the chambers break down the plant material.
