Two species used it in change, the Grizzled and Matschies.

You dont often see Tree Roo exhibits like that

That's really neat, although I don't like the sign on the island.

I think, just a few zoos in the states do have an outdoor exhibit for tree kangaroos ? I've seen just three, in Detroit and San Diego and this one.

The Santa Fe Teaching Zoo in Gainesville, FL also has an outdoor tree roo exhibit, but not as open and vegetated as the three you mentioned.

I wouldn't call San Diego's tree-roo exhibits "vegetated"

The Detroit Zoo has in my opinion by far and away the best tree kangaroo exhibit in North America, although in the wintertime I'm not sure what happens with the roos. There are photos in the gallery that show an absolutely enormous tree, and when I was in Detroit last summer the kangaroos were incredibly high up in the foliage.

The best Tree Kangaroo exhibit that I've seen is at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland. It's pretty big and has a lot of climbing structures and it's in a rainforest setting.
