Are kangaroos like the Australian version of deer in the US? Like how deer are not everywhere, you won't see them roaming downtown but they are common enough that most people has seen one like roaming a suburb park or someone's boonie backyard. Are kangaroos like that?

Yes.

That's cool.

I asked an australian friend.
"hmmmm sort of? you get them a shit ton in the countryside but in the suburbs they're fairly rare
obviously the closer to 'countryside' a suburb is the more likely it is that you'll spot one"

Definitely not in the suburbs or major population centres.

You'll probably see them in the country, though. They can be pretty dangerous, because if you're driving at night and you hit one of them, they can total your car.

So, exactly like deer, then.

I laughed and then I felt bad.

Yeah, not so much in the suburbs of the cities. I live twenty minutes away from the city centre and we would not get kangaroos here. Outer suburbs are more likely.

Before I moved to Brisbane, Mum had a friend she knew through a church group who lived a little way out of town, on a farm. His district (a village named Old Bonalbo) was where an Oscar winning documentary about kangaroos called Faces In The Mob was filmed. It's more milk farms, and a lot of the farmers let the roos graze alongside the cows without bothering them. The cattle and the roos politely avoid each other just fine.

Suburbia? No, you usually don't see kangaroos there, though I suspect you might see some of the smaller types in the national parks in Sydney, like Lane Cove Park, which runs right through the North Shore suburbs.

I live in a pretty suburban part of my city and I've not seen kangaroos wandering around *at all*. They're huge, and even wallabies aren't that common. If you live near the bush they'd be around, but unless you live way out in the country they're not common. You can see wallabies at zoos and wildlife parks, but they don't (IME) roam about in most (esp inner-city) suburbs. We get magpies, mynahs, lorikeets, ducks crossing the road, spiders and the odd snake, but no koalas or kangaroos/wallabies.
