Do the grey kangaroo and the red kangaroo live in the same habitat?

Answer 1

The habitats of the Red kangaroo and the Grey kangaroo overlap through parts of the eastern states, but generally the two occupy different regions.

The Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the Australian continent - not the dry desert but in semi-arid desert areas where there is sufficient vegetation, and permanent water supplies - and on part of the Western Australian coast. They may also be found in grassland areas, or sparse bushland.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo inhabits both grassy plains and open woodlands of Eastern Australia. The Western Grey Kangaroo is less likely to be found in grasslands, but prefers shrubby bushland such as mallee scrub, open forest and coastal heathlands. Western greys have frequently been observed swimming to offshore islands.
