Brush-tailed bettong family

for the Brush-tailed Bettong

Extinct

By Veronica, age 6

Brush-tailed bettongs are a type of marsupials that used to be found in some parts of Australia, but now they can only be found in Western Australia. I feel a bit sad when I learnt at school that there are only 10% of their population left. They have fluffy tails and they look so cute, and I really want to meet them one day. In this picture I drew a mummy and a baby brush-tailed bettongs coming out at night time because they are nocturnal animals.
