It is difficult to determine the exact number of kangaroos killed by bushfires because the numbers can vary greatly. However, it is estimated that millions of animals, including kangaroos, have been affected by the recent bushfires in Australia. Many kangaroos have lost their lives, with some estimates suggesting that hundreds of thousands may have perished.

How common are bushfires in Australia?
Bushfires in Australia are very common during summer. However, bushfires like the massive Black Saturday fires across Victoria in February 2009, which killed almost 200 people, only occur every few decades. Prior to Black Saturday, the worst fires were Ash Wednedsay (1983) and Black Friday (1939). In between, there have been some deadly bushfires that killed a smaller number of people (Canberra 2003; Eyre Peninsula 2005). In other years, many areas may be threatened by bushfires, particularly in the south and over in Western Australia, leading to huge property losses.

How many bushfires are there in Victoria?
It is impossible to determine how many bushfires there have been in Australia. Bushfires, in varying degrees of severity, occur almost daily in different localities during the warmer months, beginning around late August in parts of Queensland. They reach their peak during mid-summer, with perhaps hundreds occurring through Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia on a daily basis. Many of these are small spot-fires which are easily extinguished. Major flare-ups occur less often.
How many houses were burnt down in the Victorian black Saturday bushfires?
Tens of thousands of animals died in the Victorian bushfire. Many or most are small, non-flying animals that could not escape the flames. Insect and arachnid populations probably took the worst hit. When wildlife biologists try to run numbers on something like this, they're usually using pre-fire populations as a springboard to make calculations. No "exact" figures exist, as anyone who thinks about the issue will see. Only estimates of population mortality are all that will ever appear.
