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.)

A little Goodfellow’s Tree-Kangaroo joey ventures out of its mother’s pouch to explore a bit “Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus goodfellowi) also called the ornate tree-kangaroo, belongs to the family Macropodidae, which includes kangaroos, wallabies and their relatives, and the genus Dendrolagus, with eleven other species. The species is native to the rainforests of New Guinea, and the border of central Irian Jaya in Indonesia. Under the IUCN classification, the species is listed as Endangered, which is a result of overhunting and human encroachment on their habitat. It is named after British zoological collector Walter Goodfellow. Description and taxonomy Like other tree-kangaroos, Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo is quite different in appearance from terrestrial kangaroos. Unlike its land dwelling cousins, its legs are not disproportionately large compared to its forelimbs which are strong and end in hooked claws for grasping tree limbs, and it has a long tail for balance. All of these features help it with a predominantly arboreal existence. Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo has short, woolly fur, usually chestnut to red-brown in color, a gray-brown face, yellow-colored cheeks and feet; a pale belly, a long, golden brown tail, and two golden stripes on its backside. It weighs approximately 7 kg (about 15 lb).” - Wikipedia .

Goodfellow’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus goodfellowi) Also known as: ornate tree-kangaroo

Goodfellow’s tree-kangaroos are primarily solitary, with large male territories overlapping several smaller female territories, and breeding occurs year-round. As a marsupial, the female of this species has a well-developed pouch on its abdomen into which the tiny newborn climbs, where it grows for up to the next ten to twelve months. Even after it leaves the pouch, the joey continues to return to nurse for several months. A superb climber and capable of leaping long distances, this tree-kangaroo spends much of its time in the trees, but also frequently descends to the ground at night in search of food. Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo is considered Endangered, as a result of over-hunting and habitat loss.
