Many animals are endangered and why is because too many are dying. They are either dying to many times at once or little are hunted at once but hunted often or they have died from the people killing their environment. One animal that is endangered is the tree kangaroo, this species has somewhat died from hunters and the environment. Many of these creatures die everyday even though they are such fantastic animals. It is sad seeing everyday these animals dying and one of them is the amazing Tree Kangaroo.
The Tree Kangaroo but the scientific name of it, is Dendrolagus. This is located at rain forests of Australia, West Papua, and Papua New Guinea. Fewer than 250 Tree Kangaroos are left in the world. These animals are herbivores they eat leaves and fruit for their diet. Owls, eagles and pythons are all predators of the Tree Kangaroo. This animal's offspring is 44 days long. When they are born they are called Joeys. They stay in their mother's pouch so they can nurse in their until they are old enough to come out.
There are 14 types of Tree Kangaroos in the world. They weigh up to 32 pounds and measure about 30 inches without their tail. They have a 16-to-34-inch tail themselves. The tree kangaroo has reddish-brown coat with light-colored bands on the back. Tree kangaroos lick the fur

Many of them have died across the years at least 80% of their population has died. They have died from the many hunters that want them, also the environment has been destroyed for them. We could stop this by stop making more things because the more they make the more we take from them. Tree kangaroo conservation program in Papua New Guinea has been trying to save this species from extinction. This program is in the place where it all started so they know what people are doing to them. Many people have been helping these creatures so they don’t extinct but people are still destroying their habitat so they need more
They look for most of their food on the ground, but they will also find food in trees and shrubs. The Australian ringneck will look for food in the morning and late afternoon. They will rest during the day when it is hot. They eat seeds, fruits, flowers, nectar, insects and insect larvae. They will also eat grain that they find along roads.
The Musky Rat Kangaroo feeds on leaves and fruit instead of grass as it lives up in trees as well as the fact that the kangaroos main predators live on the grounds of the rainforest and so being an arboreal animal makes it so they do not need to go to the ground.
Meet this amazing creature the Toolache Wallaby, better known as the Mocropus Greyi. This wallaby looks like it's related to a kangaroo. The wallaby stands on two legs, hopes like a kangaroo, and has a black muzzle, this amazing animal is sadly extinct, thanks Europeian wolf, (IUCN red list) We would have a vast variety of wallabys. Once, this animal had a very minimal danger but then the Europeans introduced a new species to this land of Australia and many other locations(Australian government department of the environment energy). This animal was introduced in 1845. This wallabys diet consists of birds, small rodents, and small reptile(IUNC red list). The Toolache Wallaby's habitat is made
-Bonobo’s display a varied degree of sexual dimorphism, which is a characteristic specific to either male or female sex. When comparing the two sexes, males are more muscular and hold an average weight of 95 pounds compared to an average of 82 pounds and a slighter built female, a 15 percent weight difference between them. Sexual dimorphism is also apparent in that males possess a unique dental trait, long canines, a feature that females lack. Both sexes are similar in that neither has a height advantage, averaging 2.3 to 3 feet in height. (Waal 24) Bonobo’s possess long, fine black hair covering most of the body and black colored hands and feet. Their black faces feature wide, thick walled nostrils and long black facial hair that often covers their small ears. Their head hair
In the Australian Outback they have many animals including crocodiles, kangaroos, hundreds of different kinds of reptiles, and many birds. Some of the birds are native and some of them are there because of migration. There are two different kinds of crocodiles
A few of these remaining species are extremely close to extinction and if we don’t do something soon we may very well lose them good. They’re becoming extinct from the destruction of their natural habitat.
The western grey kangaroo, Macropus fuliginosus, who is also referred to as a black-faced kangaroo, belongs to the macropod family. This particular species of kangaroo is one of the largest macropods in Australia. They are a commonly found across almost the entire southern part of Australia. This species thrives in open woodland and forest, grassland, and can even be found throughout the outskirts of major cities.
In Tasmania this species is fully protected and the population has been increasing slowly. However, the populations on mainland Australia are so fragmented and small that they may be too small to survive. This species’ recovery in Australia depends on a nationally coordinated approach, with habitat loss, predator control and captive breeding projects all needing to be
Western grey kangaroos are strong bipedal hoppers that live in many environments such as woodlands, grass lands, open forests, scrubland and heathland (Dawson, Milne & Warburton, 2014).
Arriving in Australia in 2010, at the Brisbane Airport, I looked forward to owning a Koala as a pet, and kangaroos jumping around in my front yard. I was sorely disappointed when I found out that this was not the case. A few months later I was faced with reality.
Red Kangaroos are marsupial herbivores who are only native to Australia and Papa New Guinea. They are the world largest
This Ecology Essay is about Koalas being endangered. They are mainly endangered in Southeastern and Eastern Australia the State of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria. This essay will talk about how they eat, their habitats, the threats, invasive species, population and density, trophic levels, nutrient cycles and human interaction.
All Marsupials originated from South America. When Pangea started to split most marsupials fled to Australia, because South America and Australia were connected during Pangea. Now Marsupials are being hunted for their fur. Also non-native animals have been ruining their ecosystem. Australia has been trying to pass laws to save marsupials, but all animals face the fear of being poached.
The main cause of endangerment is deforestation. Deforestation is the clearing of trees and transforming a forest into clear land. This leads to habitat loss. Although it is very harmful to many species, the government does not punish anyone for deforestation. Poaching is also a huge problem. Jaguars are being poached for their unique coats. Also, jaguars are being taken into public zoos which results in death. If the jaguar did ever go extinct, the domino effect could go into action and the same thing would happen to other
The kangaroo represents Australia’s cultural and social background and is internationally recognisable. It represents the Australian character in many ways including: Its size, strength and speed, which make it a national logo/emblem for Australian organisations and especially sporting clubs. Kangaroo’s are also symbolic of another Australian trait; to stick up for your self and not back down. With their large feet and long tail kangaroos find it hard to move backwards, indicating that Australians are people who are moving forward and growing as people of Australia.
