The smallest kangaroo is the musky rat-kangaroo, with an average length of 23 centimetres. The musky rat kangaroo lives in the dampest parts of the tropical rainforests in north Queensland. See the related link below.
It is not the smallest marsupial, however. The smallest marsupial is the long-tailed planigale, with an average body length of 55-65mm.
Although the tiny Musky rat-kangaroo is the smallest species of kangaroo in Australia, it is not the smallest species of kangaroo to be discovered. In 2008, an even smaller species of kangaroo was discovered inhabiting the montane forests of the island of New Guinea. It is a tiny dwarf wallaby of the Dorcopsulus family.
A large male kangaroo is colloquially known as a "boomer".
The male of any species of kangaroo is called a buck or boomer.

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.
The musky rat kangaroo is the smallest of all species of kangaroo. Despite its tiny size and the fact that it is limited to far northern Australia, its conservation status is "least concern".
The musky rat-kangaroo, though tiny, is still a kangaroo and a macropod. It has long hind feet and the distinct strong tendons in its hind legs that cause it to move with a hopping motion.
