Kangaroos have a unique reproductive system where females can have three different offspring at different stages of development. This means that a female kangaroo can be simultaneously pregnant, nursing a joey, and have an embryo in her uterus.

Kangaroos have a complex social hierarchy based on age, size, and gender. Males will often engage in boxing matches to establish dominance, with the winner earning the right to mate with the females in the group.
