Kangaroos can live in a great variety of places. Kangaroos' habitats include grasslands, mulga scrub, bushland (not too dense) and open plains - wherever there is food, and shade trees. Red kangaroos prefer this type of habitat. They will generally not frequent rocky slopes and hillsides, this being more territory for wallabies and wallaroos, which are smaller members of the kangaroo family. However, they will shelter under cliffs and in caves in bad weather.
Some members of the kangaroo family can be very small, and these smaller members dig burrows in desert and semi-arid areas, living on insects, larvae, fungi and plant roots. Larger kangaroos, such as the reds and greys, do not live in the sandy desert (despite what some overseas websites report) because there is insufficient food there.
Kangaroos shelter under trees, in caves or under cliff overhangs. They spend most of their time grazing in the open or under trees.

Can kangaroos live in the plains?
Kangaroos are found in a variety of habitats, depending on their species. The diet of larger kangaroos is grass and young shoots, so many species are found in grassy plains. Kangaroos' habitats include grasslands, mulga scrub, bushland (not too dense) and open plains - wherever there is food, and shade trees. Red kangaroos prefer this type of habitat. They will generally not frequent rocky slopes and hillsides, this being more territory for wallabies and wallaroos. Tree kangaroos live only in the rainforest, and could not live in the plains.

Why do eastern grey kangaroos live in grassy and bushy land?
It is better to address this question with why Eastern Grey kangaroos do not live in other habitats. They cannot live in deserts as there is insufficient vegetation and water for them. Red kangaroos already live in semi-arid lands (not sandy deserts either), and these areas do not have enough food to support two similar species. They cannot live in rainforest because the thick vegetation prevents the kangaroos from moving quickly. Also, the food is the wrong type. They cannot live on rocky mountainsides because their build is not like that of wallabies and wallaroos, which are stockier and more agile. That really only leaves grasslands and bushland.

Do wild kangaroos live in a jungle?
Generally, no. The closest any species of kangaroo comes to living in a jungle is the tree kangaroo, which lives in tropical rainforests of northern Australia and the island of New Guinea. Kangaroos are found in a wide variety of habitats across Australia. Given that there are over 60 species of kangaroos, this essentially means that there can be a type of kangaroo in almost all habitats. They are found primarily in bushland (dry sclerophyll woodland) as well as open plains, grasslands, scrubland, semi-arid land, alpine and sub-alpine mountain slopes, wetlands, cool temperate to tropical rainforest and even the fringes of suburban settlement.
