Tree-kangaroos the focus of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo research
The Cleveland Metroparks’ Zoo Science research team presented overviews and outcomes on their projects to the Board of Park Commissioners on July 18. Research curators and zoo scientists Noah Dunham and Diana Koester spoke to the board about several long-term projects their team has been working on. Koester described a recent project studying Matschie’s tree kangaroos, a species native to Southeast Asia whose population has been experiencing difficulty breeding.
