Do Kangaroos live in forests

Answer 1

It depends on the species. There are over sixty species of kangaroo in Australia, and their habitat varies. Kangaroos are most commonly found in bushland and woodland, open forests, coastal heath land, grasslands, mallee scrub, mulga scrub and other scrubland, while tree kangaroos are found only in rainforests.

Answer 2

It depends on the species. There are over 60 species of kangaroos, and some, such as the tree-kangaroos live in the rainforest, while smaller species such as wallabies live in bushland, which is a type of eucalyptus forest ("forest" being a word rarely used to describe native Australian bushland).

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. They will generally not frequent rocky slopes and hillsides, this being more territory for wallabies and wallaroos. However, they will shelter under cliffs and in caves in bad weather.

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 there.

Answer 3

They can. Kangaroos commonly live in dry sclerophyll forests, which is known as bushland in Australia. However, it depends on the species. There are over sixty species of kangaroo in Australia, and their habitat varies. Kangaroos are most commonly found in bushland and woodland, open forests, coastal heath land, grasslands, mallee scrub, mulga scrub and other scrubland, while tree kangaroos are found only in rainforests.
