There are about 60 different species of kangaroo in Australia, and they each have unique adaptations for different ecosystems and climates. Different species can live in all parts of Australia. Kangaroos live in a variety oftemperatures ranging from sub-Alpine to savanna grassland to temperate bushland and coastal heath. Some varieties of kangaroos seem to enjoy swimming, whilst others are just as happy in the dry mulga scrub. Tree kangaroos live in the tropical rainforest where temperatures are higher, along with the humidity.

Many larger species of kangaroos such as the red kangaroo, commonly said to live in the desert, cannot survive in the sandy desert at all. There is insufficient food or water for them to survive. However, they can certainly live in hot semi-arid areas where there are permanent waterholes, and where the vegetation is soft and juicy enough for them to eat.

The Red kangaroo lives in hot and dry conditions, but it does not live in the sandy desert. It is perfectly suited to its habitat of plains and open bushland.

  • Red kangaroos have a network of fine veins just beneath the surface of the skin on their forearms. They lick this area, and the saliva evaporates, cooling down the blood vessels.
  • Red Kangaroos are nocturnal, being active during the night time. They are crepuscular, meaning they feed in the early morning, before it is too hot, and in the evening, as the earth cools down.
  • During the day, they laze around under trees, and often dig shallow depressions in the ground to help keep themselves cool.
  • Their large ears help with heat dissipation.
