Two of the most endangered mammals in the world, Scott s tree-kangaroo ( " Dendrolagus scottae " ) and golden-mantled tree-kangaroo ( " Dendrolagus pulcherrimus " ), live in the mountains'rainforest.

In addition to the well-known kangaroos, the subfamily includes other specialized groups, such as the arboreal tree-kangaroos ( " Dendrolagus " ), which have body masses between 4 and 13 kg, and a relatively long prehensile tail.

While there are a number of endemic plants there are few animals on the higher slopes, with only nine mammals found here : four rodents, two bats, a cuscus possum, an antechinus and Doria's tree-kangaroo ( " Dendrolagus dorianus " ).

The "'dingiso "', also known as "'bondegezou "'( " Dendrolagus mbaiso " ), is a species of tree-kangaroo native and endemic to Western New Guinea of Indonesia, where it lives in alpine forests in the Sudirman Range at elevations of 3250 to 4200 m, just below the tree line.

Four gaits were identified : ( 1 ) the slow progression involving all the limbs plus the tail which was similar in all the species and used mainly while grazing; ( 2 ) the walk, the only gait in which the pairs of limbs were not used synchronously and confined to the sole arboreal species of Dendrolagus; ( 3 ) the quadrupedal bound involving the use of the hindfeet and then the forefeet in sequence and believed to be a primitive gait because it is only found in the relatively primitive species of Setonix and Dendrolagus; and ( 4 ) the bipedal hop, the fastest gait, which is often correlated with the habitat of a species.
