How have rainforest kangaroos adapted to the rainforest?
The only kangaroos which live in the rainforest are tree kangaroos. Tree kangaroos have a number of adaptations which enable them to live in this environment.A 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.It has a red or mahogany-brown back with a yellow face, belly and feet. The long cylindrical tail is mostly yellow. Its colour enables it to camouflage effectively within rainforest trees.
