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.

MaxineThey 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.
