This is a list of estimated global populations of Marsupials species. This list is not comprehensive, as not all Marsupials have had their numbers quantified.

This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. (April 2017)
Common name Scientific name IUCN Red List status Trend Global population estimate (year) Population notes Range Image
Common wombat Vombatus ursinus LC Steady >915,090 (2020) Only includes subpopulations from three islands (Maria, Flinders, and Tasmania) of two subspecies (V. u. ursinus and V. u. tasmaniensis). Mainland subspecies (V. u. hirsutus) numbers are not known.
Southern hairy-nosed wombat Lasiorhinus latifrons NT Decrease 1,300,000 (2016)
Northern hairy-nosed wombat Lasiorhinus krefftii CR Steady 315 (2021)
Koala Phascolarctos cinereus VU Decrease 100,000–500,000
Eastern grey kangaroo Macropus giganteus LC Steady >12,977,181 (2021) Population estimate is only for the areas within Australia where commercial harvesting occur. The actual national populations would be significantly higher.
Western grey kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus LC Increase >2,571,158 (2021) Population estimate is only for the areas within Australia where commercial harvesting occur. The actual national populations would be significantly higher.
Red kangaroo Osphranter rufus LC Steady >10,848,470 (2021) Population estimate is only for the areas within Australia where commercial harvesting occur. The actual national populations would be significantly higher.
Wallaroo, euro Osphranter robustus LC Steady >2,338,076 (2021) Population estimate is only for the areas within Australia where commercial harvesting occur. The actual national populations would be significantly higher.
Antilopine kangaroo Osphranter antilopinus LC Decrease [data missing]
Tasmanian devil Sarcophilus harrisii EN Decrease 140,000
Thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus EX 0 (1936) Last known individual died on 7 September, 1936.
Brown-eared woolly opossum Caluromys lanatus LC Decrease 160,000,000 (2019)
Brown four-eyed opossum Metachirus nudicaudatus LC Steady 128,000,000 (2019)
Gray four-eyed opossum Philander opossum LC Steady 121,000,000 (2019)
Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina LC Steady 104,000,000 (2019)
