Kangaroos are indigenous to Australia.
There are more Kangaroos in Australia than there are Australian people.
The Kangaroo has many brothers that look like it (Wallabies and Wallaroos), but the term Kangaroo technically describes the largest of the bunch and includes the Red Kangaroo, the Eastern Grey Kangaroo, the Western Grey Kangaroo and the Antilopine Kangaroo.
A group of Kangaroos is called a mob. A male is a Boomer and a female is a Jill.
Don't drive at night in the Outback, if you can help it.
Kangaroos account for over 80% of animal collisions.
The chance of an accident is so high, that most rental car insurance policies won’t cover you if you travel between dusk and dawn in the Outback.
