Long-nosed potoroo — size comparison — facts and sources

The long-nosed potoroo has grey-brown fur and an elongated snout. It inhabits forests and scrub in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. After dark it digs through litter with its claws; underground fungi are important food.

Roots, seeds and invertebrates supplement fungi. Usually solitary outside mating and mothers with young, it uses dense ground vegetation for daytime cover. It feeds on the ground and may escape through rapid hindlimb-powered leaps into vegetation.
