Dataset builders
Kangaroo Bot is a bot operated by Kangaroo LLM that crawls pages into a dataset that may be reused or shared with third parties. Kangaroo Bot is used by the company Kangaroo LLM to download data to train AI models tailored to Australian language and culture. No IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine and a robots.txt rule alone will not stop a forgery.

Not documented. No operator statement says whether Kangaroo Bot reads robots.txt, so add the rule but verify in your logs that the requests actually stop.
You cannot, at least not from the request itself. No IP range file and no reverse-DNS convention have been published for this agent. The user-agent string is the only signal, and any client can send it, so treat a match as a claim rather than proof. Compare the source IP against hosting and datacenter ranges instead, and rate limit anything that behaves like a crawler.
Add the Kangaroo Bot token to robots.txt with Disallow: /. If the crawler ignores robots.txt, match the user agent at your CDN or reverse proxy and return 403 there instead.
