How common are kangaroos in Australia?

Pretty common, but only about half as common as sheep - or so it says here http://www.e-xoticmeat.com/news_08.html According to the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, the 2002 population estimate for the commercially harvested kangaroos, released by the Australian federal government, puts their numbers at 58.6 million. This means that: - there are more than twice as many kangaroos in Australia as there are cattle (28.7 million) - the total kangaroo population is a little more than half that of the Australian sheep population of 113.3 million. And people? Well according to the CIA World Factbook there are 19,546,792 (July 2002 est.) http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/as.html#People Nov 24 02, 7:13 PM

There are over 60 different species of kangaroo and their close relatives. While it is impossible to determine the exact number of kangaroos in Australia, the population of the four most common species is thought to be more than 50 million. Nov 24 02, 9:32 PM
