No. Red kangaroos are not at all in danger. In some parts of Australia, they are considered a pest and, unfortunately, farmers have successfully lobbied to have them culled. Red and Grey Kangaroo meat products can also be bought at butchers' shops and supermarkets.

Red kangaroos are uniquely adapted to survive Australian conditions. The mother kangaroo can be pregnant with one baby while another joey is still in her pouch: that second baby will not emerge from the birth canal until the first joey is fully weaned. This way, the health of both parent and baby is ensured.

Red kangaroos would not be good pets.

To begin with, it is illegal to keep a kangaroo as a pet. few people realise that kangaroos may not legally be kept as pets either in Istalia or overseas.

Secondly, like any non-domesticated animal, red kangaroos can be unpredictable. In outback towns, they have been known to attack people in their own backyards for seemingly no reason.
