World Tree Kangaroo Day

Dave 6 Eye C

May 21st is World Tree Kangaroo Day – a day to celebrate this amazing group of animals, found only in New Guinea and Australia.   There are only a dozen species, and some are critically endangered.

Here at Billabong Sanctuary we’re going to shine a spotlight all week on our own handsome Lumholtz’s tree kangaroo, Dave.

You are invited to a special ranger talk at Dave’s enclosure every day this week at 11:45 am and 2:00 pm. We’ll also be handing out some activity sheets for kids at the front counter.

Please join us to learn all about tree kangaroos and their important role in maintaining the health of tropical rainforests.
