TL;DR: Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) is a large arboreal marsupial endemic to the rainforests of north Queensland, Australia as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) is a large (10 kg max.) arboreal marsupial endemic to the rainforests of north Queensland, Australia. According to museum records, community surveys and spotlighting data, the species is most abundant in higher elevation rainforests (above 700 – 800 m a.s.l.) on the Atherton Tablelands, particularly on fertile basalt soils (Newell 1999; Kanowski et al. 2001a, b). Clearing has reduced the area of this prime habitat for D. lumholtzi from approximately 66 000 ha to 25 000 ha. Extensive areas of prime habitat are now restricted to the Herberton Range on the western edge of the Tablelands (Fig 1).
