Take a look at the super-cute tree kangaroo as it gorges on a piece of fruit during feeding time.

Tree Kangaroos are the lesser-known cousin of the classic marsupial that bounces around Australia.

Footage from Australia Reptile Park near Sydney, New South Wales, shows Kimbe eating a banana in the sun.

The video was captioned: "Tree kangaroos are herbivores, and whilst they primarily eat Silkwood leaves, they also enjoy eating fruits like avocado and bananas!

"Kimbe, our tree kangaroo couldn't get enough of this banana and finished it, skin and all!"

Kimbe celebrated her 17th birthday in January 2023 and is believed to be the oldest tree kangaroo in Australia.

Tree kangaroos are native to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the far north of Queensland, Australia.

The species are considered endangered due to hunting and destruction of their natural habitat.
