Male kangaroos are called bucks or kacks, while the females are called does or jills. The young ones are referred to as joeys. The Red Kangaroo is the largest surviving marsupial in the world. It thrives in the arid and semi-arid regions that lie in the center of the continent. The Eastern Grey Kangaroo is a common sight along the fertile eastern part of Australia. Western and South Australia and the Darling River basin are home to the Western Grey Kangaroo, while most of Australia's grassy plains and woodlands are inhabited by the Antilopine Kangaroo.
