What is a group of kangaroos called?

There isn't a formally named group of kangaroos like there is for some other animals (e.g., a pride of lions, a flock of sheep). Kangaroos don't typically exhibit the same social structures that lead to collective nouns being applied.

However, we can describe a group of kangaroos in a few ways depending on the context:

• A mob of kangaroos: While not officially recognized, "mob" is a commonly used and understood term to refer to a group of kangaroos. This is likely due to the sometimes large and somewhat chaotic gatherings of these animals.

• A troop of kangaroos: This is less common than "mob" but also works to describe a group, particularly if the group appears organized or cohesive.

• A gathering of kangaroos: This is a more neutral and descriptive term that avoids any assumptions about the social structure or size of the group.

• A herd of kangaroos: While kangaroos aren't traditionally considered herd animals, this term could be used, especially for a large group.

Ultimately, the best descriptor depends on the specific situation and the writer's preference. "Mob" is the most widely understood and accepted colloquial term.
