Kangaroos are part of a group, which consists of two to eight individuals and functions as a social unit. They usually spend their days laying around in the shade, coming out at night to graze on food. A group of kangaroos that have come together for the purpose of grazing, drinking, or finding shade is called an aggregation. Kangaroos like to roam, which is why their home ranges cover such a large area of

land. They live with hundreds of other kangaroos in a pack, called a mob. Living with a mob is a way for kangaroos to easily spot predators, such as dingoes, eagles, or humans. Mobs will be made up of mostly males, with only 15 female members.
