Best Answer

The Huon tree-kangaroo, better known as Matschie's tree kangaroo, lives on the Huon Peninsula, which is in northeast New Guinea. They can also be found on the New Guinean island of Umboi.

The Huon tree kangaroo eats leaves, sap, insects, flowers, and nuts. It is arboreal, or tree-dwelling, able to leap from branch to branch, or to the ground. It uses its paws to grasp hold of the food.
