What animals do kangaroos interact with?

Answer 1

There are some 60 species of kangaroos in Australia. Depending upon the species of kangaroo, animals which live in the same biome may include:

• wallabies
• echidnas
• wombats
• potoroos
• bandicoots
• koalas
• bettongs
• possums
• quolls

Answer 2

Red kangaroos often live in dry, arid deserts that are inhospitable for many other species of animals. The red kangaroo's predators include eagles and dingoes. Occasionally the kangaroo will come across a field of sheep but generally have no interaction with other animals other than its predators.

Answer 3

The question of which animals are wiin the kangaroo's habitat depends largely on the type of kangaroo. However, some general animals (mammals, birds and reptiles) that can commonly be found in the same habitat as many types of kangaroo include:

• wombats
• bandicoots
• quolls
• echidnas
• possums and gliders
• kookaburras
• cockatoos
• galahs
• goannas
• red bellied black snakes
• brown snakes

Answer 4

The term "kangaroo" refers to over 60 species of kangaroo, and only these species can be considered to be similar to the kangaroo.

Besides the Red kangaroo and Grey kangaroo, these animals include:

Other species of kangaroos are smaller, and they include:

• Wallabies, including different species of rock-wallaby, brush wallaby and swamp wallaby
• Quokkas, once thought to be a type of wallaby, but now regarded as another separate group
• Musky-rat kangaroo (the smallest of all kangaroos)
• Tree kangaroos, which live in trees, although they can easily jump to the ground from 6m up and escape along the ground if threatened. There are numerous species of tree-kangaroos. They have shorter hind legs and a long, non-prehensile tail which they use as a rudder for jumping between tree branches. They are the only type also found in New Guinea.
• Pademelons, which are the smallest of the macropod family. There are many different varities of pademelons.
• Wallaroos and euros, which come in between wallabies and kangaroos in size. They are characterised by a more thickset body, and are darker around the snout.
• Rat-kangaroos, which look like oversized rats around the face and ears. There are various species of these, such as the Musky rat-kangaroo and the Rufous rat-kangaroo. Rat kangaroos are different to the kangaroo-rats of North America, and not at all related.
• Potoroos, which are small and quite endangered. Gilbert's Potoroo is the most threatened marsupial species in Australia.
• Bettongs which, like the potoroo, are sometimes included in with the rat-kangaroos. They are quite small, usually weighing only a couple of kilograms when mature.

Answer 5

There are over 65 species of kangaroo in Australia and New Guinea, so it could be said that virtually any native animal in Australia lives in the same habitat as the kangaroo.

Wombats, echidnas, bilbies, bandicoots, platypus, Tasmanian devils, possums, bats, koalas, native mice, marsupial moles, dunnarts, antechinuses, phascogales, planigales, kowari, dibblers, etc, are just a few of Australia's native animals that share a habitat with at least one member of the kangaroo family. Tasmanian devils, for example, share the habitat with Forester's kangaroo and the Tasmanian pademelon. Wombats are commonly found where wallabies live. Tree kangaroos live in the rainforest along with platypuses in norther Queensland, but Tasmanian platypuses share their habitat with pademelons.

Answer 6

Kangaroos share a habitat with many animals. These animals include koalas, dingo's, wallabies, echidnas, wombats, and platypuses, which all share the outback.

Answer 7

Kangaroos are hunted by dingoes and carnivorous reptiles, therefore, they live near these animals. They also live close to foxes and feral cats.

Answer 8

The Kangaroo, Wonbat,Crocodile: those are just a few of the animals thta live in the same area as the koala
