How many animals are in Australia?

Answer 1

It is difficult to determine exact numbers of all the species of animals in Australia, but the Australian Government Department of the Environment website lists the following as an accurate guide:

• 386 species of mammals, which includes marsupials, monotremes and placentals
• 828 species of birds
• 917 species of reptiles
• 227 species of amphibians
• Over 5000 species of fish
• 757 species of Tunicata or Urochordata
• 8 species of lancelets
• 5 species of hagfish, lampreys and slime eels

No figures are available for invertebrate species.

Answer 2

The largest population of animals in Australia is the kangaroo. Even not counting the fact that there are over 60 species of kangaroo in Australia, there are still more than double the number of kangaroos as people. The Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia suggests that, in 2002, there were an estimated 58.6 million Kangaroos in Australia. This number continues to fluctuate with the seasons, but gives a fair estimate of how many kangaroos there are in any given year.
