🟤✨ Meet the Tree Kangaroo You Never Knew Existed! 🦘🌳

Say hello to the Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo—a rare and adorable marsupial from the mountain forests of Papua New Guinea!
Unlike their ground-dwelling cousins, these kangaroos live high in the trees and are incredible climbers.
Moms still carry their babies in pouches—but up in the treetops!
Sadly, they’re endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
