The lowland tree kangaroo lives in the southern lowlands of Papua New Guinea. It has sparse reddish-brown fur and a long tail, but much of its life in the wild remains poorly known.
Its coat is short and sparse, reddish brown on the back and paler underneath. Its tail is described as longer than those of other tree-kangaroos.
It is recorded in native forest that includes lowland swamp forest, but little is known about its wild diet, reproduction, and other aspects of its life.
The only two adult males reported as weighed were 7 kg and 9.1 kg.
