Ursine tree-kangaroo

 * ... that the ursine tree-kangaroo (pictured) is rated as "vulnerable" as it is hunted for food and its numbers are decreasing? Source: "This species is threatened by hunting by local people for food" and "It has lost a significant portion of its range (and hence population) in the last 60-70 years."

 * I thought fawn was as good as brown when the source stated coffee-coloured - I was thinking of milky coffee. Tail length, well, I rounded it; if the range had been 41 to 54 cm, I would have quoted it accurately, but here it is 41 to 94 cm. As for the picture, I was not too bothered.
