A recent publication gives an estimate of 1700 adult (i.e. breeding) females, and 550 adult males. Females are typically reproductively mature at around 1 year of age.

There is also a small captive breeding population at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria (see related links).

See also the IUCN Red List in related links.
