What is another word for dendrolagus?
Pronunciation: [dˈɛndɹəlˌaɡəs] (IPA) 
"Dendrolagus" is a scientific term that refers to a group of arboreal marsupials commonly known as tree kangaroos. The word "dendrolagus" is made up of two Greek roots: "dendro," meaning tree, and "lagos," meaning hare or rabbit. There are several synonyms for "dendrolagus," including "tree kangaroo," "kangaroo rat," and "rat kangaroo." These animals are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea and are notable for their unique adaptations to life in the trees. With their short forelimbs, strong hind legs, and long tails, they are able to climb trees and move through the forest canopy with ease. Despite their name, tree kangaroos are not closely related to the kangaroos found on the ground.
