Lowland Tree Kangaroo

Postby Cougar28 » Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:08 am

This is Dendrolagus spadix or the Lowland Tree Kangaroo. Tree Kangaroos are one of the most least known species in the marsupial family. Though they are in the least concern for extiction, they may be if their land continues to be destroyed by humans. The Lowland Tree Kangaroo lives in primary rainforest of lowland swamps, in the Gulf and western Provinces of Papua New Guinea. They are omnivores that mostly eat tree leaves and fruit, but they will also eat grains, flowers, sap, eggs, young birds, and even bark. I hope you like it! :mrgreen:

I -love- tree kangaroos. to the ponit if i had a choice, I would have a pet one, and my room would have murals of tree kangaroos on the walls. The art probably wouldn't be as fine as yours though. I applaud your hard work, :clap: and also have to give this a thumbs up.
