Animal of the Day!
Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus goodfellowi)
(Photo from World Association of Zoos and Aquariums)
Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Indonesia; Papua New Guinea
Size (Weight/Length)- 6 kg; 80 cm
Diet- Fruits; Leaves; Flowers; Insects
Cool Facts- Looking like a mix between a red panda and a red kangaroo, the Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo is an example of evolution at its finest. Lacking many of the adaptations of tree climbing mammals such as a prehensile tail and reversible ankles, these tree kangaroos are distant relatives of red kangaroos on mainland Australia. However, their extremely strong forelimbs and hooked claws allow them to travel in the trees like a squirrel. The Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo lives almost completely in the trees and can jump directly to the ground from over nine meters up in a tree. The main threat towards Goodfellow’s tree kangaroos is illegal poaching and habitat loss. Unfortunately, tree kangaroos have recently been taken into the illegal pet trade with people looking for adorable exotic animals to call their own despite the consequences these practices have on wild Goodfellow's tree kangaroos.
Rating- 13/10 (One of the cutest faces in the animal kingdom.)
