The main danger to tree kangaroos is habitat loss. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source. Unlike some other highly adaptable marsupials, tree kangaroos need a very specific habitat. Also, in parts of northern Australia, quite a few tree kangaroo deaths are caused by cars. Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem.
It should be noted that not all species of tree kangaroos are endangered.
One Australian species is listed as endangered, and that is the Lumholtz's Tree kangaroo.
The Goodfellow's, Doria's, Matschie's, Tenkile and the Dingiso are the most endangered tree kangaroos in New Guinea.
There is no such species as an albino kangaroo. Albino kangaroos, or white kangaroos, are simply variants within the normal species of kangaroos, whether it be a red kangaroo, grey kangaroo, wallaby or a pademelon. As with all albino animals, albino kangaroos have a reduced amount of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair, meaning that the normal colouring is absent. Albinos can occur in any species of kangaroo.
Thus, the reasons for an albino kangaroo's endangerment vary according to the species of kangaroo. The animal most people recognise as the kangaroo is common and not at all endangered. These animals, the Red Kangaroo and the two varieties of Grey Kangaroo, which are the largest of the marsupials, enjoy healthy populations throughout their particular habitats. Albinos have more difficulty surviving because their colouring makes them easier prey for carnivores. They are also more subject to developing blindness, and skin cancers. Apart from that, the usual reasons for endangerment of species in Australia is habitat loss and the introduction of non-native predators.
Eastern Grey kangaroos are not endangered.
The Eastern Grey Kangaroo is not endangered. Its conservation status is listed as "least concern". None of the larger kangaroo species are endangered.
Grey kangaroos are not endangered. Their population is secure, and they are listed as "least concern".
Grey kangaroos are not endangered. Their conservation status is listed as "least concern".
They are not. There are two species of Grey kangaroo - the eastern Grey and the western grey - and neither one is endangered. Their populations are in the millions.
Most species of kangaroos are indeed solitary. Species such as the large Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos live in mobs, but most wallabies, pademelons, tree kangaroos and wallaroos do not.

There are four species that are referred to as kangaroos: red kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, western grey kangaroo and the antilopine kangaroo. Kangaroos are the only large animals to use hopping as a means of locomotion.
Kangaroos have a backbone. Eastern grey kangaroos are vertebrates
Red kangaroos are not endangered. They are endemic to Australia, where they are found in the millions.
No. Eastern grey kangaroos are herbivorous. There is no species of kangaroo that is a carnivore.
No, kangaroos are not an endangered species.
All kangaroos, including both species of Grey kangaroos, belong to the class Mammalia and the infraclass Marsupialia.
Red kangaroos are not endangered. Their conservation status is "least concern".
A kangaroo is a mammal, but not all species are endagered. There are over 60 species of kangaroo, however, and many of the lesser-known species are endangered, especially those in the wallaby family. Rock-wallabies seem to be most prone to endangerment. But the larger creatures commonly recognised as kangaroos, such as Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos, remain common and prolific.
