kangaroo
A group of red kangaroos (Macropus rufus) using their powerful hind legs and feet to hop.
The western gray kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) is found along the southern coast of Australia, extending into the southwest of Western Australia.1
Their range overlaps with the eastern gray kangaroo in western New South Wales and western Victoria. Additionally, distinct populations of this species are located on Kangaroo Island and the Nullarbor Plain. While they prefer lightly forested country for refuge, they frequently venture into open plains to graze.1
