* A Goodfellow's Tree kangaroo has a long, cylindrical non-prehensile tail, which is used as a rudder as it jumps from branch to branch in the trees - this helps it to keep its balance in its tree habitat. It has larger forelegs and smaller hindlegs than kangaroos and wallabies - these features help it to climb and leap from branch to branch. * It feeds on fruits and leaves of the trees in which it lives, rather than ground-dwelling grasses, so it can stay in the trees, away from predators. * Its colouring enables it to camouflage effectively within rainforest trees.
