The Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus, is the world's largest marsupial. Red kangaroo numbers have increased in numbers due to sheep ranchers. Sheep ranchers will convert woodlands to grassland, and will fence out or hunt dingos. Even though it may be persecuted by these same ranchers as a competitor of their livestock, the red kangaroo has benefited overall, and its population stands in the millions.
