The Red Kangaroo is found throughout the interior of the Australian continent - not the dry desert but in semi-arid desert areas where there is sufficient vegetation, and permanent water supplies - and on part of the Western Australian coast. They may also be found in grassland areas, or sparse bushland.
The survival of Red kangaroos is not being threatened at all. In 2011, estimated Red kangaroo numbers in Australia were around 11,500,000. Red kangaroos have, in fact, benefitted from agriculture changing their habitat as it has increased their access to water, via dams and irrigation ditches.
The Red kangaroo's natural home is Australia.

They may also be found in grassland areas, or sparse bushland.
In the past, the red kangaroo has come close to extinction as a result of habitat clearing for agriculture, and the indiscriminate shooting of kangaroos by farmers and hunters. Once Federal Protection was enacted for all native animals, their numbers increased again.There is currently no need to help the red kangaroo, as long as legislation to protect them remains in place.
Red kangaroo was created in 1822.

Red kangaroo numbers are not decreasing dramatically overall. Numbers of both the Red kangaroos and Bith Soecies of Grey kangaroos fluctuate widely from year to year, depending on whether or not there is a drought at that time. Red kangaroos are still plentiful, and after a couple of good seasons, their numbers can rise to plague proportions.
The red kangaroo primarily feeds on grasses and shrubs, positioning it as a herbivore in the food chain. It is preyed upon by predators such as dingoes and eagles. In a broader ecological context, the red kangaroo plays a role in the energy flow by converting plant material into biomass, which is then available to higher trophic levels. Additionally, its grazing habits can influence plant community dynamics in its habitat.
The largest kangaroo, the Red Kangaroo, is the fastest.
The species name of the Red kangaroo is Macropus Rufus.
