Lumholtz's tree kangaroo
Meet the Lumholtz's tree kangaroo, one of Australia’s most unique rainforest residents! Known for their incredible climbing skills and calm nature, these rare kangaroos can be found at Dreamworld’s Native Nook. Stop by to watch them in action and learn more about these fascinating tree-dwellers.
Life in the treetops
Lumholtz's tree kangaroos spend their entire lives high in the rainforest canopy, making them skilled climbers and jumpers. The smallest of all tree kangaroo species, they weigh just 5–8 kg and are found only in the rainforests of Northern Queensland. As foliavores, they mainly snack on leaves and plant matter.
