Why do kangaroos live in the bush?

Kangaroos don't necessarily *live* in the "bush" as a specific location. They are native to Australia and inhabit a wide variety of habitats, including:

* Open grasslands: This is where kangaroos are most commonly found, as they can graze on the plentiful grasses and have ample space to hop around.

* Forests: Some species of kangaroos, particularly the red kangaroo, are found in open woodlands and forests.

* Scrublands: These areas provide good cover and food sources for kangaroos.

* Semi-arid regions: Even dry and harsh regions support kangaroo populations due to their ability to extract moisture from plants and withstand long periods without water.

So, while kangaroos are often associated with the "bush," which is a general term for Australian wilderness, they are found in various environments across the continent. Their adaptability and strong grazing habits are key to their success in diverse habitats.
