Best Answer

There are many types of kangaroos and have many scientific names.

# Eastern Grey. Its scientific name is "Macropus giganteus". # Red kangaroo. Its scientific name is "Macropus Rufus". # Western Grey. Its scientific name is "Macropus Fuliginosus". ---- It depends on the kangaroo species. There are dozens of kangaroo species, from the Red Kangaroo down through the wallaby family, to the tiny musky-rat kangaroo (Hypsiprymnodon moschatus). Wallaby names range from the same genus as the larger kangaroo (Macropus) whilst others are in related genera such as Dendrolagus, Petrogale, Onychogalea, Lagorchestes and Lagostrophus.
