OCR: Red kangaroos are found all over Australia, including desert regions. Kangaroos feed mainly at night, resting in the heat of the day. They can go without water for long periods, and although kangaroos are well adapted to cope with the desert environment they have increased in numbers due to the creation of grassland for sheep farming. The natural enemies of the kangaroo - Tasmanian wolves - are now extinct in mainland Australia, aiding the increase in the kangaroo population.
