Why are the overrun Australian kangaroos called national treasures in this country?

Australia's national treasure kangaroo is called a national treasure, not because it is rare, but because there are so many kangaroos in Australia that it has almost become a business card of the animal kingdom in the Australian mainland. Many people come to Australia to visit kangaroos, and our national treasure panda is relatively rare, but one thing is that giant pandas and kangaroos are very close, that is, both animals are endemic to the region. For example, there are no giant pandas distributed outside China, and neither are kangaroos.

I believe everyone knows that China's national treasure is the giant panda. The giant panda is called a national treasure because the number of giant pandas in China is very rare and has reached the point of extinction. Not only China, but also Australia has its own national treasure. Australia's national treasure is kangaroo, but its situation in Australia is different from that in China. There are few giant pandas in China, but there are many kangaroos in Australia. Even the local people feel great pressure, because kangaroos will constantly harass herders, such as eating farmers' crops, so herders are tired of kangaroos and want to kill them all.

So many netizens are curious about how many kangaroos can be called national treasures. In fact, Australia's kangaroos are called national treasures, not because the number of kangaroos is very small, but because Australia is the only country with kangaroos in the world. Even though kangaroos here are annoying, they are also representative business cards of Australia, which means that many people want to see kangaroos first when they come to Australia. It can be said that kangaroo symbolizes Australia's tourist card. Of course, Australians are not soft on disruptive kangaroos, and kangaroo meat has become an important meat source for them.

In China, the status of pandas is much higher than that of Australian kangaroos. Because pandas rarely come into contact with people and the number of pandas is scarce, the value of this species is also very precious. Of course, the two national treasures, panda and kangaroo, are very close, that is to say, they are only native to their own country, and there is no such animal distributed abroad, so this is also their treasure.
