Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus goodfellowi

They are native to the rainforests of New Guinea. Goodfellow's tree-kangaroos are slow and clumsy on the ground, moving at about walking pace and hopping awkwardly, leaning their bodies far forward to balance the heavy tail. However, in trees they are bold and agile. They climb by wrapping the forelimbs around the trunk of a tree and hopping with the powerful hind legs, allowing their forelimbs to slide. They have extraordinary jumping ability and have been known to jump to the ground from heights of 9 metres (30 ft) without harm.

Tenkile Dendrolagus scottae

Also known as Scott's tree-kangaroo, it is endemic to a very small area of the Torricelli Mountains of Papua New Guinea. The tenkile is listed as endangered due to hunting and logging activities in Papua New Guinea. It was thought that the tenkile population could have been as low as 100 individuals in 2001.
