It looks like a bear and climbs like a monkey, but it isn't a bear or a monkey. It has a pouch like a kangaroo, but what's a kangaroo doing up in a tree? Meet the Matschie's tree kangaroo, which lives in the dense canopy of Papua New Guinea's cloud forest-and is one of the most endangered species in the world. A group of scientists venture into the Matschie's native habitat to study and track these rarest of creatures. List of Web sites. Glossary of Tok Pisin words. Index. Winner of the 2007 NCTE Orbis Pictus Award. A 2007 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book.
