How many species of kangaroo are there?
Sources vary concerning the number of kangaroo species altogether in Australia and the tree kangaroos in both Australia and New Guinea, but the total is around 70. All but the tree-kangaroos are native to Australia alone.There are many varieties of kangaroo which come under the heading of "macropod". Members of the macropod family are characterised by their big feet ("macropod" means "great-footed"), their front pouches, and the fact that they move primarily by hopping.There are four main species that are commonly called kangaroo. These are:The Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus) - This is the largest marsupial in the world and the most common in Australia.The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) - This species ranges over the fertile eastern part of the continent.The Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) - This species is found in the southern part of west Australia, near the coast of South Australia and the Darling River basin.Other species of kangaroos are smaller, and they include:Wallabies, including different species of rock-wallaby, brush wallaby and swamp wallabyQuokkas, once thought to be a type of wallaby, but now regarded as another separate groupMusky-rat kangaroo (the smallest of all kangaroos)Tree kangaroos, which live in trees, although they can easily jump to the ground from 6m up and escape along the ground if threatened. There are numerous species of tree-kangaroos. They have shorter hind legs and a long, non-prehensile tail which they use as a rudder for jumping between tree branches. They are the only type also found in New Guinea.Pademelons, which are the smallest of the macropod family. There are many different varities of pademelons.Wallaroos and euros, which come in between wallabies and kangaroos in size. They are characterised by a more thickset body, and are darker around the snout.Then there are the potoroids - a sub-species of the kangaroo family. Examples include:Rat-kangaroos, which look like oversized rats around the face and ears. There are various species of these, such as the Musky rat-kangaroo and the Rufous rat-kangaroo. Rat kangaroos are different to the kangaroo-rats of North America, and not at all related.Potoroos, which are small and quite endangered. Gilbert's Potoroo is the most threatened marsupial species in Australia.Bettongs which, like the potoroo, are sometimes included in with the rat-kangaroos. They are quite small, usually weighing only a couple of kilograms when mature.Some specific species (not all) are listed below, excluding the extinct species.

Is the quoll native to Australia?
No. For many years, the quokka was thought to be a wallaby, and some sources still list it as the smallest species of wallaby. It is not a wallaby, however, and has recently been given its own classification.
What type of creature is a wallaby?
A wallaby is a member of the kangaroo family. It is one of any of about thirty species of macropod (Family Macropodidae). It is smaller than a kangaroo or wallaroo. While a member of the kangaroo family, it has its own distinct species and classification. Wallabies are native to Australia and are grouped/classified according to the habitat in which they live. Thus, there are swamp wallabies, brush wallabies, and rock wallabies. All wallabies are herbivores.
What are bush tailed-rat kangaroos?
There is no species known as a "bush tailed rat-kangaroo". The closest is the Brush tailed Bettong, as the bettong is a type of rat-kangaroo. Also known as the woylie, this animal is a native marsupial of Australia, found in dry sclerophyll forest areas of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, New South Wales and South Australia.
How many breeds of kangaroos are there?

What type of kangaroo is endangered?
The larger species of kangaroos, such as the Red Kangaroo and Eastern Grey are not endangered.Smaller species of kangaroos, such as certain wallabies, are endangered. Rock wallabies seem to be the most endangered, with some fifteen species known to have become extinct since European settlement. Wallabies with a conservation status of "endangered" include the following (among others):Brush tailed rock wallabyYellow footed rock wallabyProserpine rock-wallabyBridled nailtail wallabyBanded hare-wallabyThe following wallaby species are "near threatened", "threatened" or "vulnerable":Parma wallabyBlack footed rock wallabyBlack-flanked rock wallabyTammar wallaby
