What weather do kangaroos live in?

Answer 1

Tree kangaroos live in hot and humid climates - what is mostly known as tropical and sub-tropical.

Answer 2

There are about 60 different species of kangaroos in Australia, and they each have unique adaptations for different types of weather. Different species can live in all parts of Australia. Kangaroos live in a variety of climates 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 tropical rainforest climates.

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 semi-arid areas where there are permanent waterholes, and where the vegetation is soft and juicy enough for them to eat.

Answer 3

There are over 60 species of kangaroos, and their climate varies according to the species. Kangaroos live in a variety of climates right across Australia, ranging from sub-alpine to savanna to temperate bushland and coastal heath. They do not live in the sandy desert, but they do live in arid areas, as long as there is plenty of vegetation and permanent water holes.

Tree kangaroos live in tropical rainforest climates.

However, the three species of kangaroos most commonly recognised as "regular" kangaroos, and their climate and habitat, are as follows: -

• Eastern Grey kangaroos are found in the eastern half of Queensland, most of New South Wales and Victoria and small areas of South Australia. these are the areas that receive moderate rainfall, while the temperature varies from cold southern winters to warm and humid northern summers.
• Western Grey kangaroos are also found across the southern regions of Australia from western Victoria and NSW, and south-western Queensland to the mid-latitudes of Western Australia. They are used to varying rainfall levels, with cold winters and very hot summers.

  Grey Kangaroos are particularly common along southern coastal Australia and seem to enjoy swimming, often commuting between the mainland and offshore islands.

• The large Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the continent - not the dry desert but in semi-arid desert areas - and on part of the Western Australian coast. The red kangaroo lives in a much drier, hot climate than the Grey kangaroos.

Answer 5

Many people believe that kangaroos live only in a hot climate, but this is not the case.

Answer 6

Tree kangaroos live in hot and humid climates - what is mostly known as tropical and sub-tropical.

Answer 7

It varies. Koalas are found along the eastern and southern parts of Australia. The weather varies from hot and humid in the north to hot and dry in the south, with winters being cold and wet.

Answer 8

Tree kangaroos are found in the tropical climate zone. This means summers are hot and humid, with high chance of monsoonal rain and storms, while wings are still very warm, but much drier.
