Kangaroos as a species are not endangered. There are several species of rock wallaby (smaller members of the kangaroo family) which are endangered, but this is due to the introduction of red foxes and feral cats rather than their diet.

Is a kangaroo a mammal and endangered?

A kangaroo is a mammal, but not all species are endagered. There are over 60 species of kangaroo, however, and many of the lesser-known species are endangered, especially those in the wallaby family. Rock-wallabies seem to be most prone to endangerment. But the larger creatures commonly recognised as kangaroos, such as Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos, remain common and prolific.


Do kangaroos and koalas have the same diet?

Not at all. The diet of koalas and Kangaroos is very different. Koalas are specialist feeders, with eir diet restricted to the leaves and flowers of certain species of eucalypus trees, specifically those of the genus Symphyomyrtus. Kangaroos are more generalist feeders, eating grasses, leaves and shoots of many native flora and grains. In the case of the tree kangaroos, they eat fruits from trees in tropical rainforest, while the tiny Musky rat-kangaroo eats certain fungi, insects and insect larvae as well.

No figure can really be put on the level of endangerment of kangaroos, as there are over 60 species of kangaroo. These range from the extremely prolific larger species, such as the Red Kangaroo and two species of Grey Kangaroo (which are often in plague proportions in outback Australia) to the tiny Musky rat-kangaroo. Many of the lesser-known species are endangered, especially those in the wallaby family. Rock-wallabies seem to be most prone to endangerment, and some of these critically so.

Why is the kangaroo in danger of extinction?

Currently, the kangaroo as a species is in no danger of extinction. There is an extremely healthy population of kangaroos throughout Australia. However, there are many smaller species of kangaroo, which are kangaroos in name only, and not in stature, appearance or even diet. Some of these smaller endangered kangaroos, most of which are actually wallabies, include the quokka, bettong, potoroo, tree-kangaroo, rufous-rat kangaroo (not to be confused with kangaroo rats), most species of rock wallaby and other wallabies such as the bridle nailtail wallaby. As for the reasons for their endangerment, in most cases it is the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes, feral cats and wild dogs which pose the biggest threat.
