7-month-old Matschie's tree kangaroo debuts at Bronx Zoo, marking the second birth for its mother since 2022 and the third since 2008.
7-month-old Matschie's tree kangaroo, born in December, made its public debut at New York's Bronx Zoo, marking the second baby for the same mother since 2022 and the third of its kind born at the zoo since 2008. This tree kangaroo species gestates for about six weeks and spends the first seven months in their mother's pouch. Their small population in the wild (around 2,500) and in captivity (42) highlights the importance of preserving genetic diversity among endangered animals.
