Kangaroos are found almost exclusively in Australia.

Tree kangaroos are also native to parts of New Guinea and Indonesia.

Different species of kangaroos are found in different regions of Australia.

  • Eastern Grey kangaroos are found in the eastern half of Queensland, most of New South Wales and Victoria and small areas of South Australia.
  • Western Grey kangaroos are also found across the southern regions of Australia from western Victoria and NSW, and south-western Queensland to the mid-latitudes of Western Australia.

    Grey Kangaroos are particularly common along southern coastal Australia and, contrary to what some people believe, seem to enjoy swimming, often commuting between the mainland and offshore islands. .

  • The large Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the continent - not the dry desert but in semi-arid desert areas - and on part of the Western Australian coast.
  • The habitat of the tree kangaroo is rainforest and dense forest in northern Australia and the islands of New Guinea.

Kangaroos' habitats include grasslands, mulga scrub, bushland (not too dense) and open plains - wherever there is food, and shade trees. Red kangaroos prefer this type of habitat.

Some members of the kangaroo family can be very small, and these smaller members dig burrows in desert and semi-arid areas, living on insects, larvae, fungi and plant roots. Larger kangaroos, such as the reds and greys, do not live in the desert (despite what some overseas websites report) because there is insufficient food or water there.

Wallabies, another member of the kangaroo family, are commonly found in scrubland and bushland throughout Australia (including Tasmania), and rock wallabies and wallaroos may be found in hilly, rocky areas and mountain slopes. Wallabies have been introduced to New Zealand, but any sightings there have been of kangaroos remain unconfirmed. Some zoos in other countries have licences to have kangaroos in captivity.

Outside of Australia and areas where wallabies have been introduced, some zoos and animal parks have kangaroos.

How do kangaroos provide water?

Kangaroos do not provide water. Female kangaroos provide milk to their young through their mammary glands, which are located within their pouch. If the question means "how do kangaroos find water", kangaroos must obtain their water from rivers, creeks, billabongs or any other permanent water supply, and in the dew on the grass at the side of roads. Despite what non-Australian websites say, kangaroos need to drink water regularly.
