Eastern bettong — size comparison — facts and sources

The eastern bettong, Bettongia gaimardi, is a small rat-kangaroo of grassy forests and woodland. It has light brown fur, a short snout and powerful hind legs. Underground fungi are particularly important resources sought in soil and leaf litter.

It builds plant-material nests for rest and may use several shelters within its area. The tail helps transport grasses and twigs. Movement while feeding is more measured than the leaps made under sudden threat.
