Popis:	In this chapter, the present understanding of tree kangaroo diversity is summarized with a review of the origins and evolution of the group and their adaptations to a largely arboreal lifestyle. The 14 extant species of Dendrolagus (Macropodidae), confined to the continent of Australia and New Guinea, are each described and illustrated with details on their biogeography, the threats to their survival, and their current conservation status.
