Melbourne Zoo has been caring for wildlife for 150 years and is currently home to three Goodfellow’s Tree-Kangaroos. This endangered species is mostly brown in colour with golden yellow limbs, a long mottled golden yellow and brown tail and two golden yellow dorsal stripes. Goodfellow’s Tree-Kangaroos are primarily browsing herbivores, but can be considered omnivores, occasionally consuming small birds and eggs. Goodfellow’s Tree-Kangaroos live in mountainous forests and can leap to the ground from heights of more than 18 metres.
