Chris and Angie, hosts of this creatures-focused podcast, dive into the life and traits of tree kangaroos. They tour through the creature's unique characteristics, role in the ecosystem, reproductive cycle, and the various species in existence. They also discuss its endangered status, the shrinking of its habitat due to climate change, and how tree kangaroos are studied. Acknowledging how limited knowledge is of the creature, they emphasize the importance of conservation and advocate for support for specific organizations dedicated to protecting tree kangaroos. The hosts urge listeners to adopt lifestyle changes for the environment and keep an eye out for tree kangaroos in accredited zoos.
