Are there kangaroos in South Australia?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes. Australia's population has recently passed the 23 million mark. However, 2011 figures for the Red kangaroo, Eastern grey and Western grey ,and wallaroo/euro populations in Australia estimate there are 34,303,677 members of these species in NSW, Qld, South Australia and Western Australia. Figures for Tasmania, Northern Territory and Victoria are not included.

Answer 3

There are definitely more kangaroos in Australia than koalas. The population of the koala is estimated at less than 100,000, while the population of kangaroos Australia-wide runs into the tens of millions.

Answer 4

Certainly. In fact, Kangaroo Island, off the southern coast of South Australia, was so named by Matthew Flinders because of the large numbers of kangaroos he saw there.

Some species of kangaroos commonly found in South Australia include rock wallabies such as the Yellow-footed rock wallaby and the Black-flanked rock wallaby. Black wallabies also live in South Australia. Euros are very common throughout the state, while Western Grey kangaroos inhabit the southern regions.

Answer 5

Yes. They are native to Australia. There are tens of millions of them in Australia.
