1. Potoroo

   Potoroo is a common name for species of Potorous, a genus of smaller marsupials. They are allied to the Macropodiformes, the suborder of kangaroo, wallaby, and other rat-kangaroo genera. All three extant species are threatened by ecological changes since the colonisation of Australia, especially the long-footed potoroo Potorous longipes (endangered) and P. gilbertii (critically endangered). The broad-faced potoroo P. platyops disappeared after its first description in the 19th century. The main threats are predation by introduced species (especially foxes) and habitat loss. Potoroos were formerly very common in Australia, and early settlers reported them as being significant pests to their crops.

1. Potoroo

   The potoroo is a kangaroo/rat-like marsupial about the size of a rabbit. All three extant species are threatened, especially the long-footed Potoroo and Gilbert's potoroo. The main threats are predation by introduced species and habitat loss. Potoroos were formerly very common, and early settlers reported them as being a significant pest to their crops. Gilbert's Potoroo is Australia's most endangered animal. There are only 30–40 known left in the wild. It was discovered in 1840 by a naturalist called John Gilbert. It was then thought to have become extinct until being rediscovered in 1994 at the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve in Western Australia.
