Bennett's Tree Kangaroo

The Bennett's tree kangaroo lives in the Daintree Rainforest in northeastern Australia. They have longer claws to ease climbing, broader hind feet with rubbery soles to aid gripping tree branches, a long tail for balance in the trees, and a reverse color pattern to camouflage from predators below. Over time, the Daintree Rainforest will dry out, becoming a more hostile environment for many of the native animals there. The Bennett’s tree kangaroo will need to adapt to living on the ground due to the lack of trees in the future. They will have a color pattern that aids in camouflaging with surroundings on the ground, shorter, sharper claws to rip bark to eat, smaller hind feet (no rubbery soles) to increase speed for evading predators, and a shorter tail.
