People can own those things? I'm not sure I would want to. I have heard they can be mean.

@celticeagle Even though the kangaroos are in cartoons when they beat out a human character.

I would not want to a kangaroo as a pet either since they can hurt a human being since they are known as being skilled prize fighters.

Are they imported from Australia?

Yes kangaroos are natives of Australia. Some of them are owned by Americans with permission from the state laws.

There seem to be quite a lot of pet kangaroos in America.

It is possible that a dealer via mail order or internet where kangaroos can be purchased.

It would be interesting to know how the kangaroos make it into America, if by air, or by boat. There must be a trade of sorts going on there. America is a free country, whereas here in Australia, if we take a native animal as a pet, we might then end up in jail, for breaking the law.
