Wondiwoi Tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus mayri)
The Wondiwoi tree-kangaroo has very limited
distribution- perhaps 40 to 80 square miles, and
is one of the most poorly known mammals in
the world. "We know virtually nothing about it"
(Mark Eldridge, Australian Museum in Sydney).
It is known only from a single adult male specimen
collected by Ernest Mayr in 1928 in the Wondiwoi
Peninsula of West Papua. Mayr, an evolutionary
biologist, shot what became the only specimen
known to science and sent its pelt to the Natural
History Museum in London.
