Well, the explanation for this is obvious:  There must have been a
kangaroo with these characteristics in a tree one day (probably via the
sick sense of humor of some schizophrenic aborigine), and okay, what is
it going to do?  It's paralyzed with fear (being acrophobic) thus would
being gripping the branch until it's knuckles (do kangaroos have them?)
are white.  It can't climb down (seeing as it doesn't know how, just
about), so it stays there.  Finally has children, and voila, a new
species (by the formal definition, since it can't breed with non-tree
kangaroos, them by definition never being in the vicinity).  Of course
all tree kangaroos are afraid of heights and/or can't climb trees, since
if there was one that could climb and wasn't afraid, it would just go
down, since what kangaroo in its right mind would want to live in a
tree? QED.
