Where in Australia are kangaroos mostly found?

Answer 1

Kangaroos are native to Australia alone - no other continent or island. Tree kangaroos can be found in New Guinea as well as in the far northern rainforests of Australia, but that is the only variety found anywhere else apart from Australia.

Kangaroos are found in a variety of habitats, depending on the species. Habitats include grasslands, mulga scrub, bushland and open plains - wherever there is food, and shade trees. Wallabies and wallaroos, other species within the kangaroo family, often live on rocky slopes and hillsides. 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 2

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.

Answer 3

Kangaroos are most commonly found in Australia, where there are over sixty different species of this marsupial. Outside of Australia, the only kangaroos native to any other country are the tree kangaroos from the island of New Guinea. Within Australia, kangaroos are found across the country, with particularly large numbers found in the eastern states.

Answer 4

Kangaroos are found throughout Australia, except in sandy deserts and arid areas devoid of vegetation in the interior. The most fertile land is found in the eastern states, and here is where there is more likely to be a kangaroo overpopulation problem. The states of Queensland and New South Wales have particularly high populations of kangaroos.
