Tree Kangaroo at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

    Newer Older

    Tree-kangaroos are macropods adapted for life on trees. They are found in the rainforests of New Guinea, far north-eastern Queensland, and nearby islands, usually in mountainous areas.
    Tree kangaroos have developed exceptionally long tails for balance, and stronger forelimbs for climbing. The feet are shorter and wider, they have longer claws on all feet, and rubbery soles for better grip. Unlike orthodox macropods, who can only move by moving both feet at the same time, tree kangaroos can move their legs independently.
