Details for Tree Kangaroo

• Tree Kangaroo

  Tree kangaroos are macropods (like kangaroos and wallabies) native to the rainforests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia, uniquely adapted for an arboreal lifestyle. They have strong limbs, sharp claws, and long tails for balance in trees, unlike their ground-dwelling relatives. Their fur is typically brown or black. Tree kangaroos vary in size, with some species weighing up to 18 kg (40 lbs). They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, fruits, and bark, but may also consume birds' eggs. Many species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
