In addition to the kangaroo, you will fid many other marsupials in Australia and its nearby islands. There is the yellow footed rock wallaby of Central Australia and the numbat and quokka of South West Australia. The red legged pademelon is found in the east coast of Australia, while brush tailed phascogales are found all over the continent.
The red kangaroo, the hairy nosed wombat and the Tasmanian devil are other marsupials found in Australia. There are also marsupial moles, brush tailed and pygmy possums, as well as bandicoots and striped possums. The cuddly koala is a marsupial, and there are marsupial mice, rats and flying marsupials! In short, you could call the continent of Australia “Marsupial Land”!
