The Future: Tree Kangaroo

In its present-day habitat, the tree kangaroo is a unique marsupial with a thick fur coat, strong limbs for climbing, and a long tail for balance. It primarily feeds on leaves, fruit, and flowers found in the canopy of the tropical rainforest. Its ability to leap and maneuver through trees allows it to evade predators and find food sources. In a predicted future habitat where the rainforest becomes a coastal marsh due to the rising seas, the tree kangaroo might adapt by developing webbed feet for swimming and wading in the marshy environment. It could evolve to have a lighter, more water-resistant fur coat and develop adaptations for feeding on aquatic plants and small animals that inhabit the marsh. Additionally, It might need to find new sources of shelter and develop enhanced agility and speed to survive from predators in the changing habitat.
