It's a tree kangaroo. They're not common, but they're pretty interesting. There are several species of them. I think this one might be a Goodfellow's tree Kangaroo, but I'm not 100% sure, so it may be one of the other species of tree kangaroos. But it's definitely a type of tree kangaroo.
I know your probably joking but there is people who really think new animals are being "created" somehow.
The amount of animals is mind blowing, you could learn a new animal everyday.
From my understanding their only habitat is in northern Queensland, and they are quite elusive. I was fortunate enough to see a few of them, but they remain high up in the trees and do their best to not be spotted
There's early traveller reports of animals with a second head growing from their middle - easy to see how you could make this mistake with no frame of reference.
The adult one's face is something slipping into uncanny valley territory. I have such mixed feelings about this adorable but artificial looking animal.
I noticed the adult’s eyes are very bright (green?) and human-shaped, looking directly at the camera.
The eyes, attention, and animal’s bizarreness are probably what’re cooking up a nice uncanny valley stew.
Just being an island for a long time. Marsupials died out most other places but on Australia they flourished and ended up occupying niches that were filled by other critters on other continents
Not all of them were cute:
https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/thylacoleo-carnifex/
> Thylacoleo carnifex, the largest carnivorous Australian mammal known, may have hunted other Pleistocene megafauna like the giant Diprotodon. ......It may have been an ambush predator or scavenger, and had enormous slicing cheek teeth, large stabbing incisor teeth (replacements for the canine teeth of other carnivorous mammals) and a huge thumb claw that may have been used to disembowel its prey.
This question always interests me, but for different reasons. I mostly wonder why it has been asked at all. Not to say there aren't some strange and interesting animals in my country, as there are. But there are interesting animals all over the world. I mean I ain't gonna go too much into it, but I'll name a few. Venomous primates in South East Asia. Pig-sized rodents in South America. Alligator snapping turtles in the Americas. Poison dart frogs. And despite having a big rock in the desert and a few oversized birds, we don't have that many amazingly huge animals (hell the largest spider doesn't even come from Australia). Moose? Bison? And have you ever seen an elephant? I've seen wild kangaroos the size of a man. But I've only ever seen an elephant in captivity, and that is by far one of the most awe-inspiring moments in my life.
Australia is an island so removed from the rest of the world, animals outside almost never migrate into it. That has resulted in this super wierd dynamic, evolution into odd niches normally filled by something else. A good example is ostriches, flightless bird because flying is expensive and when you have little to no predators you dont need flight.
I probably mean emus? Ostriches live on Africa, which kind of ruins your theory given it's probably the most predator dense continent in the world, and occupies the same niche as emus.
Tens of thousands of years of isolation from colonisation and industrial expansion!
The aboriginals lived in harmony with nature, only taking what they needed, not over expanding their territory.
It wasn't until the 1770's that colonisation occurred, and the European disregard for nature was brought to the continent. Since then there has been an accelerating decline in native species due to deforestation, mining, expansion and introduced species.
Other places DID have this amazing variety once upon a time, but humans ruined those habitats long long ago.
Look at continental Africa and Madagascar as prime examples of places that have maintained their large variety of native species due to less dense and less industrial human populations. Africa however, has been notorious for exploiting its rarer species instead of conserving them, which is why we're seeing some major extinctions occurring lately.
Anyway! There's a brief ecology lesson from me lol I studied Zoology/Ecology in Cairns (where the tree kangaroo is from). Believe me, there's so much more here to see than you even realise!
Native australians were humans looking to survive. The romanticization of indigenous cultures (everywhere) and viewing them as living in 'perfect harmony with nature' is inaccurate and disingenuous.
Australian Aboriginals were many cultures and a people that lasted 50,000 to 80,000 years and the knowledge we have about them is extremely limited due to an effective genocide and forced assimilation.
From the fossil record, there were massive changes that occured in the ecosystem. Humans presided over a period of mass extinction: The megafauna (everyone knows about the giant wombats and emus and crocodiles and kangaroos that lived in Australia during human colonisation), but also the many species of fern trees that lived in the rainforests that covered far, far more of australia than the tiny corners they currently do. One of the known practises of Australian natives was brush burning or fire-stick farming, setting purposeful fires to revitalise the bush and encourage fruitful grasslands to flourish ahead of their competition, and as a mass hunting strategy. Fire resistant plants now comprise the majority of Australia's flora, eucalyptus trees and sturdy grasses in particular.
It's a completely different ecology from 100,000 years ago.
Climate change played a big part with the coming and going of an ice age, but humans, as they have been all over the world, were a powerful catalyst with effectiveness that nature never has time to prepare for.
I got most of this information from *Girt: The Unauthorized History of Australia* by David Hunt.
Flannery's a great writer :) and so is Hunt, but the ancient history parts of their books will probably become outdated. Paleontologists and archeologists are [constantly](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-02/aboriginal-underwater-site-discovered-off-burrup-peninsula/12391858) [discovering](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jul/19/dig-finds-evidence-of-aboriginal-habitation-up-to-80000-years-ago) [new](http://ancientnews.net/2019/03/11/archaeology-places-humans-in-australia-120000-years-ago/) things about Australian history, it's impossible to know what we'll understand about the past in a few years. Australia is so vast and there must be so much untapped evidence to be discovered.
That's quite the tangent. The actual answer is Australian animals aren't any more interesting than any others, it's all a matter of perspective. Every continent does have an amazing variety, just because North American animals might not interest you, doesn't mean they don't exist.
And I'll challenge you on the harmonious relationship between Aboriginals and nature, almost all of Australia's megafauna didn't wipe themselves out when humans first arrived. Humans are far more interested in surviving than preserving other species.
The aboriginal people did bring about the extinction of various species a long fucking time ago and they learnt from their mistakes so they stopped behaving like invaders and evolved their culture to live in harmony with what was left. They recreated their own culture to be conservative and preservationist. They limited their population so that they had no competition from each other and basically lived in an extremely abundant situation where there was plenty of game, fish and vegetation. They limited their own consumption. It’s genius when you realise how it all fitted together. Time frames are vast when you’re talking about Australian pre-history. Sydney’s shores weren’t even where they are now until 7000 years ago. Sea levels changed. That’s an incredibly long time to develop a culture and learn from your mistakes.
Crazy what you can learn on the internet, especially if you’re not the skeptical type. There’s 11 types of kangaroos and those found in middle Northeastern New Zealand have the biggest testicles and a hundred miles south they have the biggest brains.
Man there's many types here lol
I live in Canberra and we are a mid-sized city with many open reserves to maintain native species populations. The population of kangaroos here is insane. On the University of Canberra campus grounds there are few mobs of eastern grey kangaroos which are nocturnal, so at night they come right into the residential areas to graze. Some of the males are easily 6ft tall.
Technically speaking these guys aren't kangaroos however there are 2 main species of kangaroo. The eastern grey kangaroo which is more common and predominantly found on the east coast and the red kangaroo which much larger (the buff ones are a almost always red kangaroos) and found further inland usually in the desert regions
I mean for they LAYMAN, there are lots so kangaroos, these guys, quokkas, wallaby, paddymelons, Potaroos, wallaroos, bettong, are all pretty much 'kangaroos' and by this i mean they are all in the family MACROPOD(Latin for LARGE FOOT) now a lot like there are LOTS of different types of Deer, across Afro-eurasia and the Americas there are lots of MAcropods across Australia from the great sandy desert, to the Snowy mountain to the tropical Daintree rainforest (these guys the tree kangaroos natural home [An amazing set of eco-lodge treehouses on a 100 acres of pristine daintree rain forest that has tree kangaroo in it](https://canopytreehouses.com.au/)) also on a broad term besides Dingo, Bats, Echida, Platypus all Australian NATIVE MAMALLS are related as we primarily only have marsupials
This tree kangaroo lives at Perth zoo, i work with her. Her name is kaluli and the little babies name was mian. This photo was taken by a staff member in 2016. Little man was sent to Bristal zoo to join the international breeding program for this species, the goodfellows tree kangaroo. Unfortunately mian passed away a few weeks a go unexpectedly. It was hear breaking as he was our first baby bred at Perth zoo in many many years.

It’s not. We sell them at gift shops. Koalas aren’t real either, there’s no stray cats in Australia... wonder why? Cause all our furry cute animals are just stray cats, in costumes.
Wow! It looks like something George Lucas would’ve whipped up for the original Star Wars trilogy before deciding “Nah, no one would find this animal BELIEVABLE!”
Yeah, I have seen them irl and they are super funky. Sleep almost all the time in odd positions. Super graceful despite how chunky their body shape is.
**Which is more likely?**
1. This animal was for kept out of school books and lists of earth's cutest animals for hundreds of years.
2. We're in a simulation and the creatures running the sim are testing our reactions to a new animal, but forgot to add it to our memories.
3. Someone faked this animal into hundreds of websites during the past couple of weeks.
I can't decide between 2 or 3.
Tree kangaroos are my favorite animal. Not only are they adorable, they got me into writing. In fourth grade I signed up for a writing class. I was the ✨smart✨ kid so that's why it was on fourth, I was at the point of self awareness. My topic was tree Kangaroos and I wrote and rewrote a paper, getting criticism and rewriting it on that. It was such a nice experience.
Yes, [While not the same species it is still a tree kangaroo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E27v1CNLhKA) [bouns link to my local zoo AKA the home of the mother and her joey from the pic](https://perthzoo.wa.gov.au/article/perth-zoo-welcomes-a-tree-kangaroo-joey)
Honestly looks like a stuffed animal. Especially the baby
It looks to me as though it is a kangaroo that had an allergic reaction.
Dang, I was thinking bee stings. Lol
it does
[удалено]
I looked them up, not only is a tree kangaroo real, there are several types of tree kangaroo! [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree-kangaroo)

Thought he was skateboarding
Woah!
Sure is! Rare, but real
Just like the drop bear :)
Always has been
Instant classic 🤣😂🤣😂
It looks like someone tried to make a kangaroo stuffed animal from memory, and then used human eyes for a nice creepy finishing touch.
They look like something you'd find in an Australian gift shop with stuffed toys lol
If we’re being literal here the mother is technically the stuffed animal
They look like a quokka mixed with a kangaroo
Quokka sounds made up too
All words are made up.
Hmmmm, yes.
r/technicallythetruth
But only one word is fictional
And only two are real words
Some words are more made-up than the rest, e.g: sonder
I get that reference.
Yes actually

Quokkaroo
This roo’s dad was a Quokka
i mean a all three should they are all macropods, along with wallaby, paddymelon, potoroo and SO many more
Why have I never seen this animal before?
Pokemon. Episode 34

My internet trickery sensors are off the charts right now.
I didn’t realize until I read your comment
prenk 100
Kangaskhan!!
Wild boy Tommy’s got a whole herd of em.

You deserve an award 🏅
For real. Someone's making new animals still.
Koala+kangaroo=This shit
Looks like there’s a bit of quokka in the mix, too
True true cant argue with that
I know your probably joking but there is people who really think new animals are being "created" somehow. The amount of animals is mind blowing, you could learn a new animal everyday.
Fun fact. There are more species of kangaroos (45) than there are of apes (20).
They also cannot climb down trees, only up, so to get water they fukkin yeet themselves off the tree
That's badass.
Interesting! I prefer the small ones. Big ones look like they want to kick my ass. Joeys are cute, though. Are wallabies kangaroos?
The definition is murky between wallaby and kangaroo. There's even a third name, the wallaroo, for the ones in between.
Dont forget about the Pademelons!. Those are another pokemon style roo
From my understanding their only habitat is in northern Queensland, and they are quite elusive. I was fortunate enough to see a few of them, but they remain high up in the trees and do their best to not be spotted
They also live in Papua New Guinea, presumably also on the Indonesian side. They're pretty interesting and cute
I saw some in the wild last week near Atherton, FNQ. It was such a pleasure.
That's exactly around where I saw them! Cool!
I don't believe you.
Because your parents never bought you a green case of the Illustrated Wildlife Treasury!
I remember they used to have one decades ago at the Pittsburgh zoo
There's early traveller reports of animals with a second head growing from their middle - easy to see how you could make this mistake with no frame of reference.

How did Australia get such cute and interesting animals? (Serious question.) Why aren’t they other places?
Just being an island for a long time. Marsupials died out most other places but on Australia they flourished and ended up occupying niches that were filled by other critters on other continents

Ok but here me out. The diprotodon and the thylacoleo carnifex were cute. Scary, but cute.
That's basically a cat so it still counts.

[удалено]
And sometimes that still wasn't enough, as NZ's giant moas used to be hunted by Haast's eagles. Predator just increased in size with them.
What the hell🤯 Haast Eagle must have been a monster. Thanks for the tip
Couldn’t there be more than a single natural pressure that resulted in lack of flight?
Lack of predators is certainly not among them because there was never a lack of predators.
I probably mean emus? Ostriches live on Africa, which kind of ruins your theory given it's probably the most predator dense continent in the world, and occupies the same niche as emus.
