Happy World Tree Kangaroo Day! #ICYMI Som has some of the best tree 'roo crunches around. In fact, she recently was selected as the Judge’s Choice for Extra Tree-mendous Talent in the 2025 International Tree Kangaroo Crunch-a-Thon! The AZA (Association of Zoos & Aquariums) Tree Kangaroo of Papua New Guinea SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program created the International Tree Kangaroo Crunch-a-Thon to help spread awareness about tree kangaroo conservation. Thanks for sharing, liking, watching and listening to Matschie's tree kangaroo, Som! She was awarded the award for "Judge's Choice for Extra Tree-mendous Talent"! Only about 2,500 Matschie’s tree kangaroos remain in the wild in their only known habitat: The Huon Peninsula of northeastern Papua New Guinea. Threatened by logging and mining exploration, the marsupial arboreal species is considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). At CMZoo, we support the Matschie’s Tree Kangaroo Species Survival Plan (SSP) by providing a home and care for tree kangaroos that don’t have current breeding recommendations, like Som. While Som receives quality care, she’s also contributing to the conservation of her species by inspiring and educating guests. #TKSAFE #WeAreAZA #TreeKangaroos #TreeRooCrunchathon2025 #SavingSpecies #WorldTreeKangarooDay (fb)
