Bettongia penicillata - woylie, brush-tailed bettong, brush-tailed rat kangaroo
The woylie, also known as the brush-tailed bettong (Bettongia penicillata), is a small, critically endangered marsupial native to Australia. It has grey-brown fur, a dark-colored tail with a black brush. Woylies are nocturnal and their diet primarily consists of fungi. The common name “woylie” is derived from the Nyungar language, where it is known as "walyu". There were two subspecies: B. p. ogilbyi in the west (now extinct) and B. p. penicillata in the southeast.
