Thanks to the ongoing efforts of conservationists, a small marsupial species called the brush-tailed bettong is bouncing back ...

The brush-tailed bettong once inhabited most of Australia, but these days it lives in a tiny fraction of its former range.

The brush-tailed bettong looks like a miniature kangaroo and, similarly, has a pouch where it keeps its young. But don’t be fooled, this small marsupial is not as adorable as it looks.
