Have you ever heard of the tree kangaroo? This species is often found in rainforests in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and Australia. But why the “tree kangaroo”?
Because they live on trees, unlike other kangaroos that live in open grasslands or deserts. In addition to the size of their limbs, they look very similar to normal marsupials. The World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) says the animals have short legs and strong forearms so they can easily climb trees.
According to the WWF, there are 13 species of tree kangaroos, many of which are extremely rare. The kangaroo tree is one of the world’s endangered species that requires immediate action from governments, nations, and international organizations. One species, the Windowwei tree kangaroo, is on the verge of extinction and only 50 people are found on Earth.
There are several reasons for their gradual disappearance from the jungle. Predators and predators are the biggest threat to these creatures. In addition, deforestation caused by humans is reducing the population of tree kangaroos.
The WWF called for “raising awareness about the dangers of deforestation and the effects of poaching by reducing deforestation and illegal logging, and promoting and managing protected areas.” And] reducing poaching through programs. ”
Tree kangaroos are really earth creatures. They mainly eat fresh leaves, fruits, and other items like grains, flowers, or eggs.
Looking at these lovely lovers, can you believe that they spend most of their lives alone? But yes, that’s right. According to National Geographic, trees do not live as kangaroo families. Their only strong bond is between mothers and their children.
A female tree kangaroo raises and cares for her young. And time alone during pregnancy does not affect it. But don’t get me wrong. The fact that they are lonely animals does not mean that they do not know how to love and show their love.
For example, a mother tree kangaroo carries her babies in her pouch for 13 months until they are ready to go out. The mother continues to follow her children for another 6 months. And by the time they are 18 months old, they are fully grown enough to leave their mother’s comfort and start a new life.
And there are so many things we want to write about these cute, lovely animals. But we believe from the above information, tree kangaroo can earn your love!
