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,[8] usually chestnut to red-brown in color, a gray-brown face, yellow-colored cheeks and feet; a pale belly,[11] a long, golden brown tail, and two golden stripes on its backside.[12] It weighs approximately 7 kg (about 15 lb).[5] There are two subspecies of the Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo:[1]
BehaviourGoodfellow's tree-kangaroo is slow and clumsy on the ground, moving at about walking pace and hopping awkwardly, leaning its body far forward to balance the heavy tail. However, in trees it is bold and agile. It climbs by wrapping its forelimbs around the trunk of a tree and hopping with the powerful hind legs, allowing the forelimbs to slide. It has extraordinary jumping ability and has been known to jump to the ground from heights of 30 feet without harm .[9] DietAlthough it feeds mainly on the leaves of the Silkwood tree[10] (Flindersia pimenteliana), other morsels are accepted when available, including various fruits, cereals, flowers and grasses.[11] It has a large stomach that functions as a fermentation vat, similar to the stomachs of cows and other ruminant herbivores, where bacteria break down fibrous leaves and grasses.[12] GallerySee also
