2. Why were there no Kangaroos in England in the start ?

Convincing Evidences

Answer 1

European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were introduced to Australia in the 18th century with the First Fleet and eventually became widespread. The myxoma virus, which causes myxomatosis, was introduced into the rabbit population in the 1950s and had the effect of severely reducing the rabbit population.

As unlikely as it is, the simplest explanation would be that there is an unknown kangaroo population in England. All species of kangaroos are herbivores, and even in their native Australia, they are found living in habitats ranging from forests to grasslands. They can even weather colder temperatures
