Common wombatVombatus ursinus7,000-8,000[9]LC[9]Steady[9]It is widespread throughout the cooler and better-watered parts of southern and eastern Australia, including Tasmania, and in mountain districts as far north as the south of Queensland, but is declining in western Victoria and South Australia.[9]
Southern hairy-nosed wombatLasiorhinus latifrons70,000-130,000[10]LC[10]Increase[10]It is widespread throughout Western Australia, southern South Australia, and south-western New South Wales. They live in semiarid to arid grasslands and woodlands. [10]
Northern hairy-nosed wombatLasiorhinus krefftii230[11]CR[11]Increase[11]It is one of the rarest land animals in the world and is native to the jungles of north-eastern Australia.[11]
KoalaPhascolarctos cinereus100,000-500,000[12]VU[12]Decrease[12]It is widespread throughout the eucalyptus forests of southeastern and eastern Australia.[12]
Eastern Grey KangarooMacropus giganteus16,057,783[13]LC[13]Steady[13]It is widespread throughout most of the eastern states of Australia, including Tasmania, in areas with more than 250 mm (10 in) of average annual rainfall. They are found in a variety of habitats, from semi-arid mallee scrub through woodlands to forested areas.[13]
Western Grey KangarooMacropus fuliginosus2,790,358[14]LC[14]Increase[14]It is widespread throughout the south-west Western Australia from south of Shark Bay to Laverton and the Nullarbor Plains.[14]
Red KangarooOsphranter rufus8,542,148[15]LC[15]Steady[15]It is widespread throughout the hot and dry deserts to open green-grass-lands of Australia.[15]
Antilopine KangarooOsphranter antilopinusUnknownLCDecreaseIt is widespread across northern Australia in monsoonal tropical woodlands, and Common Wallaroos are found over most of Australia, especially around rocky outcrops.
Tasmanian Devil Sarcophilus harrisii140,000[16]EN[16]Decrease[16]It is widespread across the island state of Tasmania. Their Tasmanian range encompasses the entire island, although they are partial to coastal scrublands and forests.[16]
ThylacineThylacinus cynocephalus0[17]EX[17]Decrease[17]It was once widespread throughout the dry eucalyptus forests, wetlands, and grasslands of mainland Australia. Indigenous Australian rock paintings indicate that the Tasmanian wolf once lived throughout mainland Australia and New Guinea. [17]
