The Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the Australian continent - not the dry desert but in semi-arid desert areas - and on part of the Western Australian coast.

Who are in the marcupial family?
You can't find many marsupials anywhere else other than Australia. Some of the species that live there include Kangaroos, Wallabies, Wallaroos, Possums, Koalas, Wombats and many more.
Are kangaroos common in australia?
About as common as bears are in the U.S Kangaroos are more common in Australia than bears are in the US. Australia's major capital cities all have areas of bushland reserves where wallabies - smaller species of kangaroos - are commonly found. In addition, kangaroos roam the outback in their millions. The country roads beyond major regional centres are dotted with kangaroo roadkill.
Why do people like kangaroos?
Kangaroos are prolific in all areas of Australia, not just the east. Feeding conditions in the east are better than those in the west and venal Australia.
Is the male population in Australia bigger than the female population?
No, the female population in Australia is slightly larger than the male population. The latest data shows that there are more females than males in Australia.
What activity other than jumping are kangaroos good at?
Boxing! :)
Why do the Australians choose the kangaroos to represent their country?
Kangaroos have come to symbolise Australia quite by accident over time. They are perhaps more unique and distinctive in appearance, and readily recognisable, than other marsupials. They are also more prolific. Other unique creatures such as the echidna and platypus have been chosen as mascots from time to time (such as at the Sydney Olympic Games), but kangaroos seem to be the creatures that really captured the world's imagination as Australia grew from convict colony to free country.
What city in Australia doesn't have many Kangaroos?
Just about all of them Kangaroos don't live in cities other than in zoos. Actually, different members of the kangaroo family, especially wallabies, can be found in bushland, state forests and national parkland within most of Australia's major cities. they are also readily found dwelling on urban fringes.
Are there kangaroos in South Australia?
No. Kangaroos do not inhabit urban areas or wander down streets, as a general rule. However, kangaroos and wallabies can be seen to inhabit bushland around urban areas, and the bushland in and around Canberra would be no different. There would be some kangaroos there.
How are kangaroos and koalas related other than marsupial?
They are in the same order, Diprotodontia.
Are there 10 times more kangaroos than people in Australia?
No. Australia's population has recently passed the 23 million mark. There is no way to accurately measure the population of all the 60+ species of kangaroos in Australia. However, 2007 figures for the kangaroo and wallaroo/euro populations in Australia estimate there are 24,008,610 members of both species in NSW, Qld, South Australia and Western Australia. Figures for Tasmania, Northern Territory and Victoria are not included.
What kind of legs do eastern grey kangaroos have?
Like other kangaroos, Eastern Grey Kangaroos have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding. They have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run.
Do kangaroo mice live in the grasslands?
Kangaroo mice are quite different to kangaroos, kangaroo rats and rat-kangaroos. There are two species of kangaroo mice in North America, but several more species in Australia. They are quite unrelated to kangaroos or rat-kangaroos, but they are related to the North America kangaroo rats. Kangaroo mice in Australia are more commonly known as native hopping mice.There are several species of hopping mice, and they tend to inhabit sandy deserts, rather than grasslands.
