Turns Out Tree-Kangaroos Exist, And It’s Impossible To Scroll Down This List Without Smiling
It's no secret that Australia has no shortage of adorable marsupials. You've heard of the wallaby, you already love the quokka, but you probably haven't heard of the tree-kangaroo.
Well, tree-kangaroos are a lot like regular kangaroos, except they're twice as fluffy, and almost resemble small tree-dwelling bears. Found mostly in the Land Down Under, as well as New Guinea, these arboreal creatures remain elusive, and little is known about their behavior to this day. Though exact population numbers are currently unknown, tree-kangaroos do face the constant threat of hunting and habitat destruction, and are becoming worryingly less common in the wild.
As the rare gem of Oceania, tree-kangaroos have attracted a level of celebrity. In June 2016, the first tree-kangaroo born in captivity in 36 years was welcomed into the world at the Perth Zoo, representing hope for the species survival.
Scroll down to discover the irresistible tree-kangaroo for yourself, and let us know if you've ever encountered one.

For every cute & adorable critter in Australia they have 3 more that with rip you you a new b******e.
SQUEEEEEEEE their "smile"´s really irresistable, I know they can´t really smile, like dolphins can´t either, but it looks as if they did, here I took the time to click through all pages because there´re only 5 of them, some Bored Panda posts have 80 or more pages because everyone can add a pic there... I bet our cute & fluffy Australian furriend Flynn and Angel Brock´d love this post too if he saw it!!! 💖💖💖
I hope nothing bad happen to animals, they are so innocent so lovely, just purely enjoy the earth, they dont know how urgly the human world is, stay like this, pure and happy.
I friggen dieing from cuteness overdose!!!!!!!!!! Omg i friggen dead. All of you must come to my funeral.
They look so happy all the time like they're just really loving life. :)
I discovered the adorableness of the tree kangaroo through watching a TV show that goes behind the scenes at a Zoo. The fact that there is an entire Bored Panda page dedicated to them is awesome.
Soooo..what's the actual name of this cute thing? It IS a marsupial, but looks closer to koalas or possums rather than kangaroos. It must have a name as a species.
Ashamed to say, I have never heard of these! Looks like Koala and Kangaroo had a baby
