Why are some kangaroos endangered?

People.\n\nPeople encroaching on their land.  Also kangaroos will jump in front of cars worse than deer and they get all messed up.\n\nBut basically the increasing urbanization of kangaroo territory by people.

Zoos can occasionally help in preserving an endangered group of animals (think pandas).  Zoos can also help educate the public to the plight of animals in the wild - you can't relate to something you can see, smell, and almost touch.  \n\nHowever, contrary to the person who thinks that most zoos are great, many many many are not.  They simply have the animals to make money.  They spend minimal amounts on enclosures.  They don't do any protection/conservation research.  Even the best zoos are having major problems with their animals - it's hard to take an animal like and elephant that can cover hundreds of miles in a day and put him in an acre large cage.  They literally go crazy and die.  \n\nThis isn't even accounting for the roadside zoos that cast off animals are given to.  10x6 cages for many animals. No social interacting with others of their species.  Hard concrete with some straw.  Yet, people who "love" animals visit them - giving the 'zoo' money that doesn't go to the animals.  \n\nSome zoos are ok.  Most are not.  Even water parks are sketchy.  There need to be stricter laws all the way around to ensure the care of these animals in a humane and gentle way.

I can't give you three animals but one of the most endangered is the Lynx.

Zoos protect endangered species, provide medical attention to animals, and keep the safe from their predators and man.

Besides global warming.  It is difficult for them to raise offspring.  They give only 2 eggs and survival rate is 1 out of 2.

because they don't care.....an endangered animal is endangered because they are popular of some sort of a way...\nmaybe the furs look great....

Some times people kill them for the "sport" and even more for the MONEY!  Yes, like the tusks of elephants for the ivory.  It is really sad but it is true.  Minks get killed for their fur....but that has slowed down but it still is happening.  I think more people are aware of the crualty to all animals espically endangered and many have woken up to the wrong doings.  However, there are still some boneheads that don't quite get it.(But that is true in life)  PITA ia a great program trying to protect animals.

Most of the time its a near endangered species.  They usually aren't so bad that they are on the endangered species list but are close.  It can act as a way for animal rights people to protect them even though they aren't at the needed population level to be protected.  This is true most times, but not all.

Not only biologists but everybody must feel concerned about the vanishing species on earth.This is  because nobody lives in isolation.We are all ( The plants,animals and man) related and dependent upon each other.)\n With every extinction an important link in the life on the earth is broken and gone. It has a cascading effect.\n In Australia, with the disappearance of Dodo ( A bird since extinct) the trees that were dependent on Dodo for germination of their seeds also disappeared. It was established that the seeds must pass through the digestive system of the bird before germination as the hard cover used to get digested by the bird.Scores of insects and bees bring about pollination in plants.Disappearance of these bees due to indiscriminate use of the pesticides will undoubtedly affects those plants.\nLife on this planet is like an intricate web, damage to any of its part will destroy the web and even man will not be spared.

Here is a brief overview of the Pampas and some of the reasons why the area is endangered, in addition to immigration and the expansion of communities/suburbia into these areas:  http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/pampas.htm\n\nGood luck!

Isn't a baby an endangered species if it's in danger of being aborted?

There are several species of penguins that live on islands near Antarctica.  They might be able to adapt to similar islands or mainland habitats in the north.  The species that live on the Antarctic continent would have a harder time since there is no habitat that is like that.  They depend on the fact that there are no land predators on Antarctica attacking them while they breed.\n\nThe mainlands of the north have all sorts of predators that would disrupt the penguin breeding cycle. The Arctic ice pack is too unstable to substitute for the land and ice shelves of Antarctica.\n\nBesides if polar bears do become extinct it will probably be because of the loss of sea ice which they live on while hunting seals.

While the koala is not considered an endangered species, it is considered "threatened". Here is another website that will answer your question regarding current issues.\n\nhttp://home.vicnet.net.au/%7Ekoalas/factsprobs.html

Not counting the related bandicoots, there are four species of officially endangered wallabies in Australia. They are the Banded Hare-Wallaby, the Bridled Nailtail Wallaby, the Prosperine Rock-wallaby, and the Rufous Hare-wallaby (its cousin, the Eastern Hare-wallaby, is extinct).\n\nBanded Hare-wallaby: A tiny gray kangaroo less than three feet high. Its population is restricted to Bernier and Dorre islands in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Exact numbers are unknown; it failed to reestablish itself on Dirk Hartog Island in the 1970s. \n\nBridled Nailtail-wallaby: Gets its name from a horny spur on the end of its tail. Only known populations is near the town of Dingo in Queensland, Australia. In the early 1980s, it was numbered at 800 individuals.\n\nProsperine Rock-wallaby: Small but quite agile; jumps 13 feet. Remains near Prosperine, northeast coastal Queensland. No estimates of its population.\n\nWhere Do Kangaroos Live?\nKangaroos live throughout inland Australia and occupy mixed habitats of grasslands, mallee scrubs, open shrub lands, mulga country, and desert.\n\nWhat Do Kangaroos Feed On?\nThe red kangaroo eats during the night on a wide variety of grasses and low plants, though sometimes this grazing period starts in the late evening and ends early in the morning When water is available the kangaroo will drink. But if it obtains enough green food, it does not need to do so.\n\nCan You Tell Me How Kangaroos Communicate?\nKangaroos thump the ground with their feet to warn other members of its group that there is danger, for example a dingo attack.\nHow's the Breeding Done?\n\nKangaroo females are mature after around eighteen months. Males are mature after about two years. There is one young kangaroo, or a joey, although a mother can care for more than a single joey at a time. Kangaroo joeys remain in the pouch for 5-6 months. When they emerge, they look just like their parents, only they are smaller.\nAfter 2-3 months, they gradually spend more time away from the pouch, returning to its safety when they feel threatened. Joeys are usually weaned at around 1 year of age, but they will generally stay close to their mother for another 6 months.\n\nKangaroo Boxing!\nWhen male kangaroos fight, they look kind of like they are boxing. Standing on their hind legs, they try to knock the other kangaroo off balance. If that doesn't work, the kangaroos stay up on their tails and kick with their hind legs. Male kangaroos usually fought over female kangaroos. The largest male in a group will fight against other males to show and prove that he is the strongest and largest.

if its any help, I heard that kangaroo's outnumber humans in Aussieland by 3 to 1\n\nlol\n\n\nno seriously, just go google or yahoo this stuff by typing in key words such as "students in australia" or "student statistics in australia"

I don't think they are endangered, but, in National Geographic's book "Complete Birds of North America", it is listed as Uncommon to Rare.  It also says that there is no reliable information on population trends.\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful.

sorry they are endangered species and you would not be able to own one legally....and it is not even close to easter!
