Footage of the rare Goodfellow's Tree-kangaroo, who can climb trees like a monkey, is captured in a zoo in Perth.

The clip, filmed in May 2019, shows the endangered Macropodidae happily climbing around its enclosure.

"Tree-kangaroos are agile in the trees, but slow and clumsy on the ground. They use their long tails for balance, but are not able to grip branches with them as are some types of monkeys," nature enthusiast Bob Humphries told Newsflare.
