On average, kangaroos in captivity can live longer than those in the wild due to better nutrition, veterinary care, and protection from predators.
The lifespan of a kangaroo in a zoo can range from 10 to 20 years. Some species, such as the red kangaroo, have been known to live up to 25 years in captivity.
For example, the average lifespan of a red kangaroo in the wild is around 10-12 years, while in a zoo, they may live up to 20 years or more.
It's important to note that these figures are just averages, and individual kangaroos may have shorter or longer lifespans depending on various factors such as genetics, diet, health, and the quality of care they receive in the zoo.
