The most notable mammal present is the endemic Kangaroo Island Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus), the icon for whom the island was named upon European discovery in 1802. A smaller marsupial present on the island is the Tammar Wallaby (Macropus eugenii). An endemic dasyurid is the Critically Endangered Kangaroo Island Dunnart (Sminthopsis aitkeni), which is found only in the west of the island in Eucalyptus remota/E. cosmophylla open low mallee, E. baxteri low woodland or E. baxteri/E. remota low open woodland. The Common Brush-tailed Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is a widespread folivore native to Australia.
Monotremes are also represented on the island. There is also an introduced population of the Duck-billed Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) in the western part of the island in Flinders Chase National Park. The Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is also found moderately widespread on Kangaroo Island.
Chiroptera species on Kangaroo Island include the Yellow-bellied Pouched Bat (Saccolaimus flaviventris), which species is rather widespread in Australia and also occurs in Papua New Guinea. Australia's largest molossid, the White-striped Free-tail Bat (Tadarida australis) is found on Kangaroo Island. Another bat found on the island is the Southern Forest Bat (Eptesicus regulus), a species endemic to southern Australia (including Tasmania).
Several anuran species are found on Kangaroo island: Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingii), Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis), Painted Spadefoot Frog (Neobatrachus pictus), Brown Toadlet (Pseudophryne bibroni) and Brown Froglet (Crinia signifera).
The Heath Monitor (Varanus rosenbergi ) is a lizard that grows up to a metre in length, preying on smaller reptiles, juvenile birds and eggs; it is frequently observed on warmer days basking in the sunlight or scavenging on roadkill. The Black Tiger Snake (Notechis ater) is found on Kangaroo Island. Another reptile particularly associated with this locale is the Kangaroo Island Copperhead (Austrelaps labialis).
The Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) is found on the island, especially in the western part, where its preferred food, fruit of the Drooping Sheoak, is abundant. The Kangaroo Island Emu (Dromaius baudinianus) became extinct during the 1820s from over-hunting and habitat destruction due to burning.
Marine mammals that are observed on the island include the Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea) and New Zealand Fur Seal (Arctocephalus forsteri), each species of which is native to Kangaroo Island, and abundant at Admiral's Arch as well as at Seal Bay.
Kangaroo Island is not so adversely impacted by alien species grazers as parts of the mainland. No rabbit species are present on the island, and introduced (but escaped) Domestic Goats (Capra hircus) and pigs (Sus scrofa) have generated only minor issues. However, a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) population introduced to the island in the 1920s has caused significant damage to certain woodland communities, especially to Manna Gum trees.

The southern forest bat (Vespadelus regulus) is a vesper bat found in Australia.
A species of Vespadelus, of the diverse and common micro-bats, bats assigned as either suborder Yangochiroptera or Microchiroptera. The description for the species was published by Oldfield Thomas in 1906.[2] The holotype, of indeterminate sex, was collected at King River, Western Australia at sea level.[2] The specimen was obtained on a survey of Southwest Australia, along with several other bat species. The lectotype, a skull held at British Museum of Natural History, was nominated in 1968, providing a single specimen from the material collected by Thomas.[3]
Thomas ascribed the species as Pipistrellus regulus, allying it to the genus Pipistrellus. The species has also been placed with genus Eptesicus.[4][3] Prior to analysis that led to the description of new species, the population was assigned to a poorly studied pumilis group of Australian bat taxa.[5] Taxonomic instability also saw the species placed within a subgenus Pipistrellus (Vespadelus),[6] while others were elevating that taxon as genus Vespadelus.[4]
The taxonomic status of the population west of Adelaide, South Australia, is suspected to be a separate species.[1]
Common names for the Vespadelus regulus include little bat, King River little bat, and King River pipistrelle.[7]
Vespadelus regulus is an aerial predator of insects that hunts at night using echolocation. There is reddish-brown fur at the back, the ventral coloration is greyish or light brown.[8] This fur is thick, hairs are slightly greater than five millimetres in length, with an overall coloration at the dorsal side of dark Prout's brown.[2] The ears and wings are dark grey.[8] The range of measurements for the forearm is from 28 to 35 mm (1.1 to 1.4 in), and their weight is 4 to 7 g (0.14 to 0.25 oz).[8] It has a very short snout and large ears. The side profile of the skull is comparatively lower, flattened, and the head in top view is triangular.[9]
The species overall grey and brown fur is characterised by hairs that are coloured dark brown then markedly lighter at the upper part of the shaft. The penis is pendulous, without a sharp bend in the length, the glans penis has a lateral fold and is funnel-shaped in profile. The ratio of the third to second phalanx bone of the wings third finger is greater than 0.84, The measured range of length of the head and body combined is 36 to 46 mm (1.4 to 1.8 in), the tail is 28 to 34 mm (1.1 to 1.3 in) long, and the ear length is 9 to 13 mm (0.35 to 0.51 in).[9] The skull, at its longest measurement, is 12 to 13 mm (0.47 to 0.51 in)[3] They weigh from 3.6 to 7.0 g (0.13 to 0.25 oz).[9]
They are highly energetic and can hunt their prey, insects, with great agility.[10][8]
Another bat of the genus, the little forest species Vespadelus vulturnus, is also found in eastern regions, it is usually smaller, a forearm length of less than 31 mm, probably possesses a whitish tragus, a head has a pronounced brow. The inland forest bat Vespadelus baverstocki is distinguished by its smaller size in their common range to the north, and is paler in colour and lacks the distinct fold at the glans penis. The related bats of genus Vespadelus, the eastern forest bat V. pumilus and large forest species V. darlingtoni, are distinctly darker in skin colour and their penis is bent at an acute angle.[9] The structural characteristics of their ultrasound calls are able to be discerned in sonograms, although imperfect recording conditions may not allow them to be distinguished from some other vespadeluses. The echolocation calls are emitted at a frequency of 38 to 46 kHz, and visual output of signals received by bat detectors are classified as "curved calls, tail absent or up-sweeping".[11]
An endemic of Tasmania and the southern regions of Australia, relatively common in coastal and sub-coastal habitat.[7][9] The distribution range extends from southeast Queensland to the Eyre Peninsula, then restricted to the coast until their deeper inland ingress to the semiarid and forested regions of southwest Australia. The southwest of the continent, across an area to the north of Perth, is a region of low diversity in microbat taxa and none of the megachiropterans; this species is one of around ten to occur there. The also occur on Kangaroo Island, off the south coast of Australia. The habitat is a variety of mallee and other semi-arid woodland and wet sclerophyll forest in areas of higher rainfall.[9] The species is found in environs at sea level and above, in Victoria they are reported as occurring at altitudes up to 1700 metres. Colonies have been found in remnant bushland in agricultural and urban areas.[1]
The species is found roosting in tree hollows and sometimes in buildings.[12] The sites are often shared by individuals of the same gender.[9] The diverse range of habitat includes wet to dry sclerophyll forests and low shrub woodlands, in mallee and a range of vegetation types of temperate regions.[1] They display a strong preference for roosting in large, mature trees in the mid-decay stages, which correspond to trees with large numbers of suitable hollows.[12]
A study of roosting habitat and preferences for V. regulus and Nyctophilus gouldi in the Jarrah Forest of Southwest Australia examined the habits of these bats at two locations. This species favoured hollows of trees, predominantly the giants jarrah, Eucalyptus marginata, and marri, Corymbia calophylla, located in mature and open forest buffers reserved by later forest management practices. The individuals occupied a number of roosts in a confined locality, a hollow at a high elevation on the tree, and seem to favour riparian zones.[13] In a survey of the greater Melbourne area, where they are uncommon, the species did not adopt the bat boxes installed to replace their preferred habitat.[14]
Vespadelus regulus forages amongst all levels of their habitat, including at the ground and above the forest canopy.[7] They are fast and agile, able to twist in the air while pursuing small moths and other prey.[15] The species flight is characterised by spiralling and gliding in long arcs.[7] A study in comparative analysis of flight in Australian bats reported this highly energetic species, along with wattled bats Chalinolobus morio and Chalinolobus gouldii, had the greatest manoeuvrability.[10]
They occur in colonies of up to one hundred individuals,[1] and recorded in association with Chalinolobus morio, lesser long-eared Nyctophilus geoffroyi and south-eastern freetail bat.[7] A single birth occurs after a three month gestation period.[1]
The conservation status, as Eptisicus regulus, was assessed in IUCN 2003 red list as 'lower concern',[5] and in 2008 as 'least concern' with the note that determination of the taxonomic status of populations was required.[1] The species is found in protected parks and reserves, which provides some security from threatening factors.[1] The also appear to be less sensitive to altered land use, primarily the removal of habitat by encroachment of agricultural and suburban development.[1]

Vespadelus regulus[3] är en fladdermusart som först beskrevs av Thomas 1906. Vespadelus regulus ingår i släktet Vespadelus och familjen läderlappar.[4][5] Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.[4]
Arten har 30 till 32 mm långa underarmar och väger 3,6 till 7,0 g. Håren har ett mörkt avsnitt nära roten och spetsen är ljusare. På ovansidan förekommer brun till rödbrun päls och undersidans päls är ljusare samt mer gråaktig. Svansen är helt inbäddad i svansflyghuden. Vespadelus regulus har en grå flygmembran och gråa öron. Denna fladdermus saknar en knöl (ås) i ansiktet mellan nosen och pannan vad som skiljer den från andra släktmedlemmar.[6][7][8]
Denna fladdermus förekommer i södra Australien, på Tasmanien och på flera mindre öar i regionen. Arten lever i låglandet och i bergstrakter upp till 1700 meter över havet. Habitatet varierar mellan skogar med hårdbladsväxter, buskskogar, odlade områden och trädgårdar.[1]
Vespadelus regulus vilar i trädens håligheter och i byggnader och bildar där kolonier med upp till 100 medlemmar. Honor är cirka 3 månader dräktig och sedan föds en enda unge.[1]
Utanför parningstiden bildar honor vanligen egna kolonier som är skilda från hannarna. Arten flyger ofta tät ovanför den låga växtligheten eller längs skogsgläntor. Den jagar olika insekter med hjälp av ekolokaliseringen. Ungen diar sin mor cirka 6 veckor.[6][7][8]
