澳大利亚的袋鼠主要吃什么
袋鼠以矮小润绿离地面近的小草为生,将长草与干草留给其它动物。个别种类的袋鼠也吃树叶或小树牙。
袋鼠是食草动物， 吃多种植物， 有的还吃真菌类。它们大多在夜间活动， 但也有些在清晨或傍晚活动。袋鼠不会行走， 只会跳跃， 或在前脚和后腿的帮助下奔跳前行。袋鼠属夜间生活的动物， 通常在太阳下山后几个小时才出来寻食， 而在太阳出来后不久就回巢。
袋鼠通常以群居为主， 有时可多达上百只。但也有些较小品种的袋鼠会单独生活。

体型最大的袋鼠：红袋鼠
红袋鼠栖息在澳洲中部的干旱内陆， 以及较少树生长的辽阔平原。主要于夜间或日间较冷的时份较为活跃， 属于夜间活动或暮晨活动。
于日间的时间， 它们多会在睡觉或以其他方式休息。红大袋鼠会采取多种物理、生理及行为的适应性来保持体温于约36℃， 以达至体内平衡。这些包括保温的短毛、降低活跃性、留在荫下、及舔自己的前肢。
红袋鼠是单独或以小群生活的， 但若食物不足时， 它们会聚集为大群。每一小群一般约有2～10只红大袋鼠， 但有时也会达至几百只。组成小群的成员是很随意的， 雄性并非地盘性的， 只会为雌性而打斗。雄性红大袋鼠打斗时， 会以后肢站立， 并以前肢将对方推倒。
若打斗激烈， 它们会以尾巴支撑， 脚踢对方。小群内体型最大的就是领袖， 控制着群内的交配。红大袋鼠喜欢吃草及其他植被。它们可以一段长时间不用喝水， 因它们在吃绿色植物时吸收所需的水份。

袋鼠（英语简介）
The Kangaroo is a common marsupial from the islands of Australia and New Guinea. There are 47 species of “roos.“ Kangaroos can hop up to 40 miles per hour (74 kph) and go over 30 feet (9 m) in one hop. These shy animals live about 6 years in the wild and up to 20 in captivity. Most roos are nocturnal (active at night). Many roos are in danger of extinction, but they are also considered pests due to the way they damage crops. An adult male is called a buck, boomer or jack; an adult female is called a doe, flyer, roo, or jill. A baby is called a joey. A group of roos is called a mob. Anatomy: Roos and wallabies range in size from 2 pounds (the Rock Wallaby) up to 6 ft and 300 pounds (the Red Kangaroo). The soft, woolly fur can be blue, grey, red, black, yellow or brown, depending on the species. Females have a pouch in which the young live and drink milk. Diet: These herbivores (plant-eaters) eat grass, leaves, and roots. They swallow their food without chewing it and later regurgitate a cud and chew it. Roos need little water; they can go for months without drinking, and they dig their own water wells.
