Where can Tree Kangaroos be found???


RangeStates:
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia

Tree Kangaroos are found at an altitude of 3000-5000 ft (900-1500 m) above sea level. They are usually located in the mountainous tropical deciduous and tropical rainforests of New Guinea. They are found exclusively on Huon Peninsula of Papua New Guinea, as well as on the nearby island of Umboi. Because Tree Kangaroos are arboreal, which mean they live in trees, and spend little time on the ground. They are solitary creatures and come together only to mate. The males require a large territory that will overlap several of the females' smaller territories. They sleep for 60% of their lives, curled up in the nearest tree. They feed during the day.
