Eastern Bettongs back on mainland Australia

10 November 2011

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is in the process of receiving Eastern Bettongs (known as Tasmanian Bettongs in Tasmania) from Tasmania, as a reintroduction project for Mulligan's Flat.

These small Macropods (Kangaroo Family) were once very common down the East Coast of Australia up until the early part of the 20th Century.

 


Pressure from the introduced Red Fox and farming practices have caused the extinction of this little Marsupial from the Australian mainland.

Tidbinbilla is currently housing 23 of these animals with a further 7 due to arrive soon, to bring our founding population up to 30 individuals.
