Animal Type:
Matschie's Tree-kangaroo
With a body and head length of 20 to 32 inches, Matschie's Tree-kangaroo are
much smaller than Australia's well-known red kangaroo.[3] An adult male weighs
between 20 and 25 lb (9-11 kg). An adult female weighs between 15 and 20 lb
(7-9 kg) There is no particular season in which they breed. Gestation lasts 32
days and joeys of captive bred individuals leave the pouch after 13 ½ months.
The average life span of the Matschie's Tree-kangaroo in the wild is unknown,
but is at least 14 years. The life span of the kangaroo in a zoo is about 20
years. Matschie's Tree-kangaroo lives in the mountainous rainforests at
elevations of between 1000 and 3300 m. The kangaroo tends to live either alone
or with very small groups, usually comprising of just a mother, joey and a
male. They spend most of their time in the trees and come down occasionally to
feed. They are very adept at hopping and can leap up to 30 feet (9 m).
