The tiniest species of kangaroo, the Musky Rat-kangaroo, lives in the rainforest of far North Queensland.
Both Bennett's tree kangaroo and Lumholtz's tree kangaroo are also found in small sections of the northern Queensland rainforest.
The Black wallaby can also be found in rainforests of Queensland, although their range also extends to the south.
The vast majority of kangaroos live on the ground. However, tree kangaroos live in trees, as Their name suggests. these unusual marsupials are found only in the rainforest, with two species found in far North Queensland, and another eight that live on the island of New Guinea and other nearby islands.
Only tree kangaroos and the tiny musky rat-kangaroo live in the rainforest.
Yes. Tree kangaroos do live in the rainforest.
Yes. The tree kangaroo lives in most layers of the rainforest, sheltering in the trees. Its food source is leaves, fruit and young seedlings which it may get from either the trees or on the ground.
Tree kangaroos live in the rainforest biome.
All tree kangaroos are found only in tropical rainforests. They are not found in warm-temperate or cool-temperate rainforests. These rainforests can be either montane or lowlands.
Most species of kangaroos do not live in the tropical rainforest, but in grasslands and open bushland of Australia. The exceptions are the various species of tree kangaroo, and the tiny musky rat-kangaroo.

Tree kangaroos get water from creeks and rivers in the rainforests where they live. Most of the time, they need little extra water, as the fruit and foliage of the rainforest trees in which they live supply most of their moisture needs.
In the Rainforest
It differs according to the species. Most kangaroos get their food from their grassland or bushland habitat, as they feed on grasses and young tree leaves and shoots. Tree kangaroos obtain their food from the rainforest trees in which they live. Smaller members of the kangaroo family such as the tiny, omnivorous musky rat-kangaroos finds their food in the leaf-litter on the rainforest floor, while the potoroo digs for truffles.
No. None of the species of kangaroos migrate, whether they are terrestrial species or arboreal species. In addition, tree kangaroos live in tropical rainforests of far north Queensland and New Guinea, where climatic conditions do not vary, and food supplies are constant.
