Whilst tree kangaroos can leap agilely from tree branch to branch, they do jump down from trees. One of the main dangers to tree kangaroos comes from being hit by cars. Only tree kangaroos are able to leap between tree branches. The other 60 or so species of kangaroos do not climb trees.

Are humans a threat to tree kangaroos?

Yes. The main danger to tree kangaroos is habitat loss, a direct result of human activity. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source.

Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem, and these species have only been introduced by humans.

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.
