It is not known how many kangaroos are on Kangaroo Island.

Kangaroo Island was originally named for its kangaroos, which provided an abundant supply of fresh meat for sea explorer Matthew Flinders and his crew when they had been living off salted meat for four months. However, following European settlement, the kangaroo, like many of the native animal populations, dwindled greatly in numbers. There are some populations, but they are not as noticeable as the introduced koala population, which has thrived due to the absence of predators on the island.
