Matschie's Tree Kangaroo: Ghosts of the Forest

For this episode of Amazing Wildlife, we’re traveling to the cloud forests of the island of Papua New Guinea to find an animal found nowhere else in the world! Locals call Matschie’s tree kangaroos “ghosts of the forest” because they are so hard to spot and move quickly. Hosts Rick and Ebone discuss how this kangaroo is uniquely adapted for climbing trees and how zoos are working together to save this endangered species. Katie Christofferson, senior wildlife care specialist, joins the show to give more fascinating facts about this marsupial.  If you have a question for Amazing Wildlife you can send them to [email protected] for your chance to hear it on the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
