Are kangoroos extinct

Answer 1

Yes, the giant kangaroo rat, a native of California, is now an endangered species. They are considered a keystone species. The kangaroo rat has decreased drastically over the past 50 years. The downfall in their population is mostly caused by human interaction. This is by the destruction of the known habitats of the Kangaroo rat.

Answer 2

Kangaroo rats are not extinct.

Kangaroo rats are placental mammals, and found only in North America. They are quite different to rat-kangaroos which are found in Australia.

Answer 3

Tree kangaroos are not extinct, but some species are endangered.

The main danger to tree kangaroos is habitat loss. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source. Unlike some other highly adaptable marsupials, tree kangaroos need a very specific habitat. Also, in parts of northern Australia, quite a few tree kangaroo deaths are caused by cars. Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem.

Answer 4

No, not even close. There are a number of species of kangaroo and walleroos, and wallabys living in Autralia. There are great numbers of them.
