Quem Sciuridae maximus (often referred to as the Tree Kangaroo) is a unusual mammal that lives in the jungles of Congo. In contrast to it’s common name it is in fact not a marsupial, and its closest relative is the squirrel. Even at 4 feet tall the Three Kangaroo is very elegant when jumping from branch to branch, a handy trait when covering it’s vast territories in search for it’s favorite fruit only found around the mountains of Congo. But it’s most remarkable talent is the sack of skin on it’s throat. Because of the large distances between the animals finding a mate can be difficult. But the males uses their enlarged vocal chords to call on the females over great distances, it fills the throat sack with air much like a bagpipe and can hold a note as long as it’s not eating. The sound it makes resembles the sound of the didgeridoo, only adding to it’s false reputation of being a tree swinging kangaroo.
