All Tree Kangaroos tend to be a shade of brown or light tan color to blend in with the tree bark or wood. Tree kangaroos have strong sharp teeth for ripping or tearing leaves off tree branches. Marsupials tend to have a pouch around the abdomen area in which an undeveloped baby marsupial crawls into this pouch and attaches itself to the mothers mammary gland (nipple) for a food source. This is where the baby marsupial finishes its development into a full grown baby Tree Kangaroo | All Tree Kangaroos tend to be a shade of brown or light tan color to blend in with the tree bark or wood. Tree kangaroos have strong sharp teeth for ripping or tearing leaves off tree branches due to their protruding incisors in the front of their mouth. Marsupials tend to have a pouch around the abdomen area in which an undeveloped baby marsupial crawls into this pouch and attaches itself to the mothers mammary gland (nipple) for a food source. This is where the baby marsupial finishes its development into a full grown baby Tree Kangaroo.<ref name=site-or-author/>(5) Kangaroos in general are known as macro-pods which means big footed. | ||
The big feet they have are used for balance and propulsion when they jump from place to place. Tree Kangaroo feet can range from 40cm to 12in. The Tree Kangaroos hind legs are full of muscle and huge strong bones for the ability to propel themselves great distances through the canopies of the jungle. | The big feet they have are used for balance and propulsion when they jump from place to place.
