"Matschie's Tree Kangaroo".

An ENDANGERED species.

TREE KANGAROOS ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO LIVE IN TREES - THEY USE THEIR TAILS FOR BALANCE, THEY CAN JUMP 9 METERS BETWEEN TREES AND CAN MOVE EACH LEG INDEPENDENTLY OF THE OTHER, UNLIKE GROUND KANGAROOS. WILD TREE KANGAROOS EAT LEAVES AND SOME FRUIT.

MATSCHIE'S TREE KANGAROOS ARE ONE OF THE 9 SPECIES Of TREE KANGAROO. THEY LIVE IN THE RAINFORESTED AREAS OF NORTHEAST AUSTRALIA AND NEW GUINEA.

HUNTING, LOGGING AND CLEARING OF THE FOREST HAVE LED TO THEIR ENDANGERMENT.

Hi Mario, This is a fine capture of an unusual and very rare animal. Apart from the face it is very similar in appearance to our wallabies and kangaroo, but the face is very different. Good to see on TN. TFS. Murray.

Namastay Mario,
A nice capture of this beautiful kangaroo. Sad to know this species is endangered. Excellent composition with good details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sincerely
Haraprasan
