Biology:List of marsupials by population

From HandWiki
Short description: none

This is a list of estimated global populations of Marsupials species. This list is not comprehensive, as not all Marsupials have had their numbers quantified.

Common name Binomial name Population Status Trend Notes Image
Brown-eared woolly opossum Caluromys lanatus 160 million[1]= Least Concern(LC)[2]
Brown Four-eyed Opossum Metachirus nudicaudatus 128 million[3]= Least Concern(LC)[4]
Gray Four-eyed Opossum Philander opossum 121 million[5]= Least Concern(LC)[6]
Linnaeus's Mouse Opossum Marmosa murina 104 million[7]= Least Concern(LC)[8]
Common wombat Vombatus ursinus 7,000-8,000[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] Vombatus ursinus -Maria Island National Park.jpg
Southern hairy-nosed wombat Lasiorhinus latifrons 70,000-130,000[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] Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat.jpg
Northern hairy-nosed wombat Lasiorhinus krefftii 230[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] Haarnasenwombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii).jpg
Koala Phascolarctos cinereus 100,000-500,000[12] VU[12] Decrease[12] It is widespread throughout the eucalyptus forests of southeastern and eastern Australia.[12] Phascolarctos cinereus in Tiergarten Schönbrunn 24 July 2020 JM (5).jpg
Eastern Grey Kangaroo Macropus giganteus 16,057,783[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] Macropus giganteus - Brunkerville.jpg
Western Grey Kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus 2,790,358[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] Macropus Fuliginosus feeding.JPG
Red Kangaroo Osphranter rufus 8,542,148[15] LC[15] Steady[15] It is widespread throughout the hot and dry deserts to open green-grass-lands of Australia.[15] Red kangaroo - melbourne zoo.jpg
Antilopine Kangaroo Osphranter antilopinus Unknown[citation needed] LC[citation needed] Decrease[citation needed] It is widespread across northern Australia in monsoonal tropical woodlands, and Common Wallaroos are found over most of Australia, especially around rocky outcrops.[citation needed] Macropus antilopinus 1.jpg
Tasmanian Devil Sarcophilus harrisii 140,000[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] Sarcophilus harrisii taranna.jpg
Thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus 0[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] Thylacinus.jpg
