Tree Kangaroo

[Hoppy]

I had never heard of a tree kangaroo and would not believe one existed if I hadnt seen this one in Singapore zoo last year.



Its a shame I couldnt get a better shot.

I heard its one of the rare species...

I have seen it since i am from singapore..hehe.

They are considered endangered also i think. I heard they recently found the tree kangaroo in indonesia's jungle (which is still untouched) and found some new species of animals & insects.

That is a nice pic...i like it

Nice pic of an unusual creature. With that tail, he's got quite a counterbalancing mechanism; no wonder he does well in trees.

They are about the size of a small Wallaby.

If you are ever there Singapore zoo is well worth a visit.
