Kangaroo Island is a wildlife hotspot. Despite a strong agricultural industry, nearly half of the original vegetation has been retained and over one third of the land is protected across 30 National and Conservation parks. This provides a fantastic habitat for a huge range of wildlife species, with some now endemic to the Island.
Some key species to look out for include:
Kangaroo Island Kangaroos
Tammar Wallabies
Koalas
Short-beaked Echidnas
Australian Sea-lions
Long-nosed Fur Seals
Over 260 individual bird species
and much more!
