animalids:Dingiso (Dendrolagus mbaiso)Also known as: bondegezou The dingiso is a species of tree-kangaroo endemic to Papua Province central on New Guinea island. The species epithet, mbaiso, means “the forbidden animal” in Moni. The species was first filmed for an episode of the BBC documentary South Pacific TV series in 2009, after 11 days of searching with local Moni tribesmen. The Dingiso remains common in the west because of the protection conferred on it by the Moni people. For many Moni, it is an ancestor which must never be harmed. Nonetheless, Dendrolagus mbaiso is listed as Endangered by the IUCN.Classification Animalia - Chordata - Mammalia - Metatheria - Marsupialia - Australidelphia - Diprotodontia - Macropodiformes - Macropodoidea - Macropodidae - Macropodinae - Dendrolagus - D. mbaisoImages: [x] [x] [x]Source: [x] -- source link
