are there kangaroos in tasmania

Yes, there are kangaroos in Tasmania. Specifically, the type of kangaroo found there is the Forester kangaroo, also known as the eastern grey kangaroo. It is the only species of kangaroo native to Tasmania and is common in certain parts of the island, such as northeast Tasmania (including Mt William National Park) as well as some central and eastern areas. The Forester kangaroo is Tasmania's largest marsupial and can stand over 2 meters tall when upright. This species is protected and is often seen grazing in open grassland areas surrounded by light forest, with populations having increased due to conservation efforts since being nearly wiped out by the 1960s. Tasmania's environment is more mountainous and vegetated, which is why red kangaroos are not found there, only the grey/Forester kangaroo species.
