Most kangaroos have no set breeding season and are able to breed all year round. Because they are such prolific breeders, a kangaroo population can increase fourfold in five years if it has continuous access to plentiful food and water. However, conditions will determine how often they reproduce. Female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.
There are over sixty species of kangaroo. Some of the smaller species do have a specific breeding season, and this is usually from Australia's Spring through to early Autumn, or September to March.

They breed from September to February. Females breed from 2 years of age, and males from 3-4 years after they have established their own territory. Males are extremely aggressive during mating periods. Thirty-five days after mating, the female produces one joey weighing about 0.5 grams and about 2 cm long.
Depending on the species, kangaroos generally breed all year around, but this is restricted to just once a year.

Unlike their ground-dwelling counterparts, tree kangaroos are generally solitary animals. A male and female may occupy the same space outside of breeding season, but these animals do not live in groups or colonies.

Yes. Kangaroos, tree kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, potoroos and pademelons are all part of the kangaroo family.
Whilst tree kangaroos can leap agilely from tree branch to branch, they do jump down from trees. One of the main dangers to tree kangaroos comes from being hit by cars. Only tree kangaroos are able to leap between tree branches. The other 60 or so species of kangaroos do not climb trees.
After mating, a male koala is likely to move on to another tree, and try another female. They are not even remotely monogamous, mating with numerous females during an average breeding season.
Pythons are a danger to tree kangaroos because tree kangaroos are smaller then the typical kangaroo so the python will strangle this animal and kill it right then and there.
