Kangaroos originated on the continent of Australia. Their ancestors did not roam Africa or South America or any other continent, as far as scientists know, because no fossil remains have been found on any other continent. The Australian continent contains fossils of giant kangaroos, which are believed to be the forerunners of today's smaller, faster 'roos.

Bennett's Tree Kangaroo and Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo both live in the rainforests of Cape York in Far North Queensland, Australia.

There are also five species of tree kangaroo on the island of New Guinea, which comprises the countries of Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya (Indonesia). These tree kangaroos are commonly found in the mountainous rainforests of the island. Several species live in lowlands, for example, the Lowlands Tree-Kangaroo.

The kangaroo has always been a kangaroo, albeit in a larger form originally. Fossil remains of giant kangaroo species existing in prehistoric times have been found in Australia. One example of these was the Procoptodon goliah.

Most kangaroos come from Australia. Outside of Australia, the only kangaroos native to any other country are the tree kangaroos from the island of New Guinea. Within Australia, kangaroos are found across the country, with particularly large numbers found in the eastern states.
