NEW YORK : A baby Matschie's tree kangaroo made its public debut at the Bronx Zoo in New York City on Friday, peeking its head out from its mother's pouch.

At birth, the joey is about the size of a human thumbnail and immediately crawls through the mother's fur to enter her pouch. After about seven months, the joey emerges from the pouch, but frequently returns to nurse. The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies the Matschie's tree kangaroo as endangered and estimates that fewer than 2,500 remain in the wild. Also known as the Huon tree kangaroo, it is native to the forests of the Huon Peninsula of Papua New Guinea.
