Kangaroos are probably the symbol of Australia. This book describes the three "types" of kangaroos: kangaroos, wallabies, and rat kangaroos. This book describes the ecology, history and behavior of these unique animals. It describes their interaction with both the original inhabitants and the European settlers of Australia and addresses the issue of how we can best manage the population of these animals, making the points that some species are heading for extinction due to habitat loss while others have increased in numbers since humans first settled in Australia.
