Lumholtz's Tree-Kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) eyeing up some tasty leaves below her perch. Tree-Kangaroos have very long tails compared to their terrestrial cousins, you can see the black tufted end of the tail hanging straight down at the bottom edge of the frame. This is probably a sub-adult female.

ISO4000, 400mm, f4, 1/1000, R5.

Thanks for sharing and the explanation, Greg. I didn't even know there is such a thing like a Tree-Kangaroo.
