Matschies Tree Kangeroo

Safari Ltd - As their name suggests, Tree Kangaroos are suited to a life amongst the leaves, unlike their more well-known ground-dwelling Australian relatives. These small marsupials live only in the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, in high elevations up to almost 10,000 feet above sea level.

Characteristics: This hand painted tree kangaroo figure is full of accurate details, including its distinctive fur “whorl” down its back, its marsupial pouch, and its long tail.

Size and Color: This tree kangaroo figure is just over 3 inches long to the tip of its tail, and just over two inches in height. It’s about the size of a credit card. It’s dark brown on its sides, with an orange-brown back and dark brown stripe around the distinctive “whorl’ down its back. Its tail is sandy yellow and its face, ears, underside, hands and feet are white. Its nose and paw pads are pink, its claws are dark brown, and its pouch is brown.
