Discover Tours

The Bennett's tree-kangaroo is one of the most unique and fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom. This marsupial is known for its ability to climb trees and its unusual appearance.

Bennett's tree-kangaroos are stocky animals with short, powerful legs and long tails. They have reddish fur, which helps them blend in with the trees they live in, and distinctive white markings on their heads and chests. Unlike other kangaroos, tree-kangaroos do not hop; instead, they use their powerful legs to scramble up trees.

Tree-kangaroos are important members of their ecosystems, helping to disperse seeds and pollinate plants. They are also prey for many predators, including owls, eagles, and snakes. Despite the dangers they face, tree-kangaroos are surprisingly adaptable, and some populations have begun to adapt to living in more open areas.
