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.
