Your Daily Unsolicited Rambling Brought to You by Tim, the Tree Kangaroo

Listen, between you and me – and no offense to that kitten or anything, but I really hate those “Hang in there!” posters.

He’s just jealous of the kitten’s fame, Noelle S.

    MItten paws!!!

  2. Noelle (the First) says:

    Very cute!

    Odd moment there though because the sender inner has the same first name and last initial as I do! Talk about a small world!

  3. Zuzzie says:

    I am always amazed to see animals I had no idea existed. I thought I knew all the cute already :)

  4. Mere says:

    Looks a lot like a wombat.

    Gosh, that wide, furry placid face looks so inviting…I have this terrible urge to snorgle his forehead and get some fuzz therapy.

  8. Golden says:

    Tree Kangaroo???? Seriously? This animal doesn’t even look real! It looks like a stuffed animal, a cross between a koala bear and, well, a kangaroo!

  9. MikeD says:

    omg…loving the furry catcher’s mitt Paw-Acksh.

  10. muttluver says:

    Yesh…. I luvs the pawses. They just look so soft and fluffy.

  11. Theresa says:

    Adorable critter! That’s not much of a ramble, though. By rambling standards, it’s downright pithy!

  12. DogEared says:

    260Oakley , again, FTW! i have fingerless gloves, but i haven’t sat in a tree since i was a kid…

  13. camille says:

    Tree kangaroos are very cute, and I vote that we should see more of them!

  14. Saffron says:

    That’s not Tim the Enchanter is it? Cuz he has enchanted me with his adorabuhl paws.

  15. Theresa says:

    “There are those who call me . . . Tim.” LOL

  16. Poohbear says:

    Tree kangas are ky-ooot and much overlooked, I agree.

    Think they discovered a new species of them in New Guinea not long ago. Very relaxed and trusting, not afraid of humans. (Though maybe they should be.)

  18. Mel says:

    I loooove these tree kangaroos! I think they need to be their own line of stuffed animulz. They beat out koalahs any day for hanging-in-the-tree-marsupials for me :)

  19. Brenda says:

    Adorable!

  20. Sar says:

    There used to be a lonely little Longfellow’s Tree Kangaroo like this, at the Botanical Gardens in Hong Kong. Glad C.O. is getting these guys some press!

  23. flutterbye says:

  24. chanpon says:

    hobo gloves? those are soooo 80s…

  25. wannadance says:

    well, lil’ tree guy, i hate those motivational posters two. i bought a necklace that said ‘steal…lie…cheat’ instead of ‘love…believe…trust’ or ‘barf…complain…bitch’

    and i wear it, too. along with my virgin of guadalupe medal.

    who sez we can’t be multifaceted. or multiple personalitied?

  26. Maerlyn99 says:

    *in Dory’s voice* “I want to touch it.”
