This depends on the species of kangaroo. For the animal generally recognised as a kangaroo, e.g. the Red kangaroo or either species of the Grey kangaroo, the joey becomes an adult between the ages of twelve months and sixteen months. This is the age at which it no longer returns to its mother to suckle.

This varies according to the species of kangaroo. However, for the animal most commonly recognised as a kangaroo, it is considered an adult around the age of two for females and three for males. This is when kangaroos reach reproductive age.

Depending on the species, tree kangaroos can live between 14 and 20 years in captivity. In the wild, their lifespan tends to be shorter, due to predators and being hit by cars.
