Macropods are commonly kept and exhibited species worldwide. Mortality records were reviewed for five species of macropods housed at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from 1995 to 2016. One hundred sixty-seven deaths occurred including Western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) (n = 22), Bennett's wallaby (M. rufogriseus) (n = 64), red kangaroo (M. rufus) (n = 56), wallaroo (M. robustus) (n = 9), and Tammar wallaby (M. eugenii) (n = 16). The leading cause of death was trauma, followed by bronchopneumonia for all species. Gastric dilatation was identified as a concern for red kangaroo. Females lived longer than males across species and were overrepresented by the data set. Oral necrobacillosis and osteomyelitis were health concerns for macropods in this review. Mortality reviews are important as they identifying collection trends and influencing long-term care.
巨足目动物在全球范围内被广泛饲养和展示。对 1995 年至 2016 年期间克利夫兰都会公园动物园饲养的五种巨足目动物的死亡率记录进行了回顾。共有 167 例死亡，包括西部灰大袋鼠（Macropus fuliginosus）（n=22）、贝氏环尾袋熊（M. rufogriseus）（n=64）、红大袋鼠（M. rufus）（n=56）、大袋鼠（M. robustus）（n=9）和塔马尔沙袋鼠（M. eugenii）（n=16）。主要死因是创伤，所有物种的其次是支气管肺炎。胃扩张被认为是红大袋鼠的一个关注点。在所有物种中，雌性的寿命都长于雄性，而且在数据集中占比过高。口腔坏死杆菌病和骨髓炎是本次综述中巨足目动物的健康关注点。死亡率回顾非常重要，因为它们可以识别出种群趋势并影响长期护理。
