Tree kangaroos are kangaroos - just a few of over 60 species of kangaroo. However, differences between tree kangaroos and the animal most commonly thought of as kangaroos (Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos) are:
- Tree kangaroos are indeed arboreal-dwelling, spending much of their time feeding and resting in trees. Red and grey kangaroos are strictly ground-dwelling, and cannot climb at all.
- Tree kangaroos are smaller and stockier, and certainly more agile. They have stronger front legs to assist with climbing, and longer tails to help with balance.
- Tree kangaroos eat leaves and fruit. Red and Grey kangaroos do not readily eat fruit in their native habitat.
