the boodie ( bettongia lesueur ) , also known as the burrowing bettong , is a small marsupial .

its population is an example of the effects of introduced animals on australian fauna and ecosystems .

once the most common macropodiform mammal on the whole continent , the boodie now only lives on off-lying islands and in a newly introduced population on the mainland at shark bay .

this animal , first collected during an 1817 french expedition of the west coast , was named after charles lesueur , an artist and naturalist who accompanied a previous french expedition .

b. lesueur is known by many common names , including the tungoo , lesueur ’s rat-kangaroo , and the short-nosed rat-kangaroo .

the total extent of occurrence of the barrow and boodie island subspecies of the burrowing bettong is approximately 233 km² ( short & turner 1991 ) . the total area of barrow and boodie islands combined is 23 503 hectares ( ecosure 2009 ) .
the barrow and boodie islands subspecies of the burrowing bettong occur on the aforementioned islands off western australia . the small population on boodie island was reintroduced from nearby barrow island in the 1990s after the death of the last individuals on boodie island in 1985 during a poisoning campaign targeting the black rat ( rattus rattus ) ( burbidge 1999 ; short & turner 1993 ) .

old boodie warrens are still readily observed in central australia , particularly in calcareous country where excavated stones and gravels form humps or mounds around the entrance of long abandoned warrens .
the introduction of exoctic animals such as the european red fox , feral cats and the european rabbit contributed to the disappearance of the boodie . foxes and cats preyed upon the boodie and rabbits may have also played a part in their decline by competing for food and shelter although there is some evidence they may have co - existed in shared burrows .

astron has been engaged since 2004 to control weeds on boodie island for chevron australia pty ltd . the long term objective is to eradicate buffel grass ( cenchrus ciliaris ) , which once dominated the vegetation on parts of the island .
it was typical for the boodie to be shot by farmers protecting their crops that were being eaten by the species . in addition , agricultural practices ( such as establishing crops and pastures ) removed much of this species preferred habitat .
located on the northwestern coast of barrow island , boodie cave is optimally positioned near the edge of the australian continental shelf . for most periods of lower sea level this cave would have been within the foraging range of the pleistocene coastline .
however , the boodie , once common over much of southern australia , is now only found in numbers on offshore islands on the mid - west coast . boodies are sociable animals and since they dig burrows , considerable warrens can be formed .
the decline of the boodie on the mainland commenced in the nineteeth century and had disappeared from victoria and nsw by the 1860s and from south - western australia by the 1930s . however , it persisted until approximately the 1940s in some central desert areas .
for the past five years an international team of 30 scientists has been working in collaboration with the buurabalayji thalanyji aboriginal corporation and kuruma marthudunera aboriginal corporation on boodie cave , a deep limestone cave on the remote barrow island , off the western australia coast .
other marsupial forms are more unique in their adaptations for example the boodie ( bettongia lesueur ) a shy , strictly nocturnal rat kangaroo , possessing small pointed canine teeth to help fed on other small animals . it makes its nest in a burrow , industriously collecting material for it in a most ingenious way . it picks up a few straws in its mouth , stacks them in a bundle on the ground and then pushes them back over its long tail with its hind legs . the tail then curls up tightly so that the straw is effectively baled and the boodie move away by hopping . boodies locomote using only their back legs which have very long feet . an animal like the boodie may have been the ancestor to the spectacular radiation of bipedalism that resulted in the kangaroos and wallabies
since the initial early dates for boodie cave were reported in 2015 , our team has been forensically analysing the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental remains , as well as re - dating the site to build up a robust picture of the lives of the people who lived here .

the boodie was once the most widespread of all the potoroids . its range extended right across western australia and the northern territory , through south australia into western new south wales , south - western queensland and north - western victoria . except for reintroductions , it is extinct on mainland australia and occurs naturally only on bernier , dorre , barrow and boodie islands off the west australian coast . black rats caused its extinction on boodie island but a successful eradication of the rat has enabled the boodie to be re - introduced to the island bearing one of its common names . the boodie has been successfully reintroduced into mainland west australia in the francois peron national park . it is also being reintroduced into fenced fauna reserves in south australia and new south wales . given that the species was once widespread across the rangelands of australia , it occupied a range of open habitat types . its current habitat on the islands off the coast of western australia is low heath , scrub and hummock ( spinifex ) grassland . however , introduction show is that it can live in spinifex grasslands , chenopod shrublands and mallee . the species need to burrow and so a rocky substrate obviously precludes its occupation of some areas . the burrows , however , have persisted in some parts of the rangelands and certainly can be found in new south wales rangelands in national parks such as kinchega national park .
threats to the habitat of the barrow and boodie islands subspecies include : disturbance by oilfield activities , especially gravel extraction and road construction ; fire ; and exotic invasive species ( butler 1987 ) . disease and climate change are also identified as potential threats ( richards 2007 ) .
before its extinction on the mainland , the boodie served a very important function in the australian grassland ecosystem . as it foraged , it mixed organic matter into the soil , spreading fungi and seeds . this mixing also increased water absorption into the soil and reduced the combustible material under trees , decreasing the likelihood of fire . these actions helped maintain the balance of trees , shrubs , and grasses . the loss of small , ground foraging animals after european settlement contributed to widespread soil deterioration . also , the boodie may have helped to thin woody weeds on rangeland by grazing shrubs regenerating after fires .
the boodie once lived in a range of dry subtropical and tropical habitats , from open eucalyptus and acacia woodlands to arid spinifex grasslands . in its current range on the islands , it seems to prefer open triodia ( spinifex ) and dune habitats , but will burrow anywhere except places with rocky substrate .
current taxonomic research based on mitochondrial dna and morphological data indicates that two separate species might be contained within bettongia lesueur ( richards 2005 ) . fossil and subfossil remains also point to the presence of two sympatric taxa similar to the two extant populations on barrow and boodie and the ones on bernier and dorre .
longevity for the barrow and boodie island subspecies is not recorded . however , the bernier and dorre islands subspecies ( shark bay ) have a life span of over three years , and the reintroduced population at heirisson prong ( also shark bay ) contains eleven year old individuals ( richards 2007 ; short & turner 1999 ) .
the boodie is nocturnal , sheltering during the day in burrows and foraging widely at night for food . locomotion is mainly with the hind legs . the forelimbs are used for support when the boodie is stationary . this bettong exhibits a slow gait and fast gait . the fast gait ( or bipedal hop ) is characteristic of the macropodiforms and uses only the hind limbs , with the forelimbs held close to the body and tail acting as a counterbalance . the slow gait ( or quadrupedal crawl ) is used during foraging and other unstressed times . nighttime movement is usually fairly limited , averaging less than 200 m . however , researchers have measured this marsupial traveling 2 . 2 km searching for food . one individual tracked on barrow island traveled 5 km . b . lesueur uses scent to locate food , which it digs up with the claws on its strong forelimbs . the boodie will even climb into low shrubs to find food . demonstrating little interspecific interactions , bettongs are apparently undisturbed by run - ins with other non - predators .
proposed factors leading to its overall decline include the general diversion of environmental resources to humans and introduced species , a reduction in vegetative cover by introduced herbivores and changed fire regimes , predation by introduced foxes , direct killing by people , predation by cats ( particularly on islands ) , competition from rabbits , and competition from black rats on boodie island .
the boodie is the exception amongst the rat - kangaroos as it eats few if any fungal fruit - bodies . rather it predominately eats roots and tubers along with some bulbs , leaves and stems of plants , seeds . in the island populations , it may eat some carrion scavenging along the sea shores . on the mainland , fruit such a quandong is eaten along with various native yams .
[ prob . from gael . bodach ( cf . gael . bodach rocais , a scarecrow ) , influenced by bo , bu , a hobgoblin . bodach is used to designate the ghostly familiar of several highland families — e . g . the bodach glas or grey spectre of the grants of rothiemurchus . see jam . 1808 s . v . boodie and etym . note to bamullo . ]
the diets of boodies and european rabbits have been compared at herrison prong in shark bay ( wa ) . greatest overlap in diets occurred in summer ( 56 % overlap ) when boodies ate seeds , stems and the foliage of shrubs and rabbits ate roots , stems and browse from some shrubs . overlap was less in winter ( 43 % ) when the boodie diet was more typical of the rat - kangaroos with 19 - 23 % hypogeal fungi , along with fruit and forbs . rabbits similarly ate forbs but browsed the foliage and stems of shrubs . there is a widespread belief that rabbits were a significant cause of the mainland extinction of boodies through competition for food and shelter . the herrison prong study has cast doubt on both assertions . boodies better utilised common resources and boodie and rabbit diets diverged . boodies maintained populations when rabbits boomed and then busted as they depleted pasture under unfavourable conditions . boodies typically forage in areas where the canopy cover is above the average for the habitat , and ground cover and height is relatively high . livestock , particularly sheep , remove such cover and so the introduction of pastoralism , not the rabbits , cats and foxes that followed , is the prime cause of boodie extinction .
researchers have proposed many possible causes for the boodie ' s decline on mainland australia , which began once australia was colonized . nineteenth - century colonists killed boodies , considering them a destructive garden pest . as ranches spread over the grasslands , livestock grazing reduced vegetation cover , shrinking their habitat . also , introduced species such as foxes , cats , and rabbits took a severe toll on the boodie , especially on islands . rabbits competed with them for food and shelter , and the foxes and cats became their major predators . the theory that rabbits compete with boodies for food has been disputed in a study done in 2002 although further investigation is needed . finally , the indigenous australians maintained certain fire regimes , and when these ceased , the habitat probably changed . by the 1960s , all the boodies on the mainland were extinct .
this bettong had one of the most extensive continental ranges of any of the australian marsupials , originally occurring in all mainland states except perhaps queensland over the region from about 14 degrees south in the northwest down to the extremity of the southeast coast ( 37 degrees 50 minutes south ) , and from the west coast almost across to the great dividing range in new south wales . it had disappeared from victoria and new south wales by the 1860 ' s . it remained common in parts of central and southwestern australia until the 1930 ' s . by 1966 it appeared to be virtually extinct over most of its former range , with remnant pockets possibly remaining in northwestern and central australia . it was common on bernier and dorre islands . by 1987 it occurred only on barrow , boodie , dorre and bernier islands off of western australia ; by 1992 had become extinct on boodie island .
the barrow and boodie islands subspecies of the burrowing bettong is a compact marsupial with grey fur , and a ventral surface that tends to be lighter . legs , feet and tail are yellowish in colour . it has short , rounded ears , grows to 28 cm in length and has a fat tail which grows to 21 . 5 cm in length . in some animals , the tail has a distinctive white tip ( strahan 1998 ) .
was once one of the most widespread mammals inhabiting the australian mainland . it could be found in all suitable habitats throughout mainland australia , yet by the early 1960’s had become extinct on the mainland and could only be found on the australian islands of bernier and dorre in shark bay , and boodie island and barrow island near the pilbara coast . burrowing bettongs used to live on dirk hartog island , but have gone extinct from there as well .
in late 2004 , calm ( now wa dec ) established a recovery team for marsupials of shark bay to coordinate conservation actions for the subspecies including the barrow and boodie islands subspecies ( richards 2007 ) . through this team , wa dec has prepared the western barred bandicoot perameles bougainville , burrowing bettong bettongia lesueur and banded hare - wallaby lagostrophus fasciatus recovery plan 2007 - 2011 ( richards 2007 ) . recovery objectives that relate to the burrowing bettong include :
in 1817 the french ship uranie anchored off dirk hartog island in shark bay as part of its exploration of the west coast of australia . its crew collected a specimen of a small kangaroo unknown to science . it was subsequently described and named after charles le sueur , the artist and naturalist on a previous french expedition to the islands in 1802 . it became known as lesueur ' s rat - kangaroo bettongia lesueur . today it is more commonly known as the burrowing bettong or boodie .
between 1988 and 1990 csiro conducted surveys of bernier , dorre , barrow , and boodie islands to establish the size and stability of populations of endangered mammals . surveys in 1988 and 1989 revealed a population of some 5 , 000 bettongs distributed between three islands . barrow island ( 240 square kilometres ) contained the greatest number with some 3 , 500 animals . subsequent surveys have revealed that these populations fluctuate strongly in size , building up steadily over several years of average to above average rainfall and then crashing in drought .
the boodie like most of the rat - kangaroos has a gestation period just shorter than the oestrous cycle and thus has a post - partum oestrus with mating taking place very soon after the current pouch young vacates the pouch permanently . they show embryonic diapause and breed continuously regardless of season but some bias towards the wetter winter months was noted on bernier and dorre islands . pouch life is around 4 months and thus they are able to produce more than one young per year but island populations do not reach the theoretical maximum of three young .
and sea eagles ; on barrow island , monitor lizards appear to be a significant predator . before its extinction on the mainland , the boodie served a very important function in the australian grassland ecosystem . as it foraged , it mixed organic matter into the soil , spreading fungi and seeds . this mixing also increased water absorption into the soil and reduced the combustible material under trees , decreasing the likelihood of fire . these actions helped maintain the balance of trees , shrubs , and grasses . the loss of small , ground - foraging animals after european settlement contributed to widespread soil deterioration . also ,
the boodie once lived in a range of dry subtropical and tropical habitats , from open eucalyptus and acacia woodlands to arid spinifex grasslands . in its current range on the islands , it seems to prefer open triodia ( spinifex ) and dune habitats , but will burrow anywhere except places with rocky substrate . the burrowing bettong eats a variety of foods , such as seeds , fruits , flowers , tubers , roots , succulent leaves , grasses , fungi , termites , and marine refuse . it will also raid vegetable gardens . current populations fluctuate , building up during the years with average or good rainfall and crashing during drought years . these marsupials are known to live at least three years in the wild .
burrowing bettongs were once widespread across arid and semi - arid areas in the south , central and western parts of australia . their range contracted dramatically following european settlement and extant populations are now present only on a small number of islands off the coast of western australia . re - introductions to predator - proof enclosures have resulted in the successful establishment of a number of populations in western australia , new south wales and south australia . three sub - species , with distinct ranges , are recognised : b . lesueur graii ( mainland australia , now extinct ) , b . lesueur lesueur ( bernier and dorre islands , shark bay , wa ) and b . lesueur unnamed subspecies ( barrow and boodie islands , wa ) .
if conditions were good , the boodie mated throughout the year , utilising a polygynous mating system . males did not appear to have dominance hierarchies ; rather , they defended females against other males . some females seemed to establish associations with other females ; whether these contribute to increased reproductive success is unknown . gestation lasts 21 days , with only one young per litter . like other marsupial newborns , the newborn was altricial . about four months elapse until weaning . after young leave the pouch , they take 6 - 7 months to sexually mature . females mated the day after giving birth , and the fertilised egg arrested development until the young was weaned . in captivity , females are able to bear three young per year .
the rat - kangaroos have fared very poorly with the advent of agriculture and pastoralism compounded by the introduction of competitors ( european rabbits and hares ) and predators ( red foxes and domestic cats ) . the potoroids generally have much reduced ranges relative to the first settlement of australia by europeans and two of the 10 species are extinct . the most dramatic of the declines is the boodie ( burrowing bettong ) which was widespread across the rangelands of australia and ended up marooned on a few offshore islands in western australia . reintroductions are in progress and this species is on the first hops to making a comeback on the mainland . like the potoroids , the musky rat - kangaroo has lost much of its habitat in the highly prized real - estate of the tropics .
it is abundant on barrow ( total 3 , 400 individuals ) , bernier ( total of 650 individuals ) , and dorre ( 1 , 000 individuals ) . these populations appear to be stable ( richards 2005 ) . the populations on bernier and dorre islands ( and presumably barrow island and possibly mainland populations ) are known to undergo extreme fluctuations in response to rainfall and drought ( short et al . 1997 ) . estimates for the reintroduced island populations are as follows : boodie ( few hundred ) , faure island ( 150 individuals ) ; it is extinct on dirk hartog island ( burbidge and short 2008 ) . reintroduced mainland populations include : arid recovery ( 500 ) , scotia ( 300 ) ; heirisson prong ( 20 ) . populations are increasing where reintroduced .
the boodie is a small , rat - like marsupial with short , rounded ears and a lightly haired , thick tail . this animal has a pointed rostrum and beady black eyes , hind limbs longer than the forelimbs , and large hind feet . this bettong is yellow - gray above and light gray below . its short , dense fur feels soft and woolly . the animal bears a faint hip stripe and a distinctive white tail tip . this tail is weakly prehensile and used to carry nest material . about the size of a wild rabbit , this little marsupial weighs an average of 1 . 5 kg . head and body length is an average of 40 cm . little to no sexual dimorphism seems to exist . however , morphology varies among subspecies and between islands .
if conditions are good , the boodie seems to mate throughout the year , probably using a polygynous mating system . males do not seem to have dominance hierarchies ; rather , they defend females against other males . some females seem to establish associations with other females ; whether these contribute to increased reproductive success is unknown . gestation lasts 21 days , with only one young per litter . like other marsupial newborns , the newborn is altricial . about four months elapse until weaning . after young leave the pouch , they take six to seven months to mature sexually . females mate the day after giving birth , and the fertilized egg arrests development until the young is weaned . this is an example of facultative embryonic diapause . in captivity , females are able to bear three young per year .
this species is endemic to australia , where it was formerly widespread in central , southern , and south - western parts of the country . while it is now presumed to be extinct on the australian mainland , it persists in insular populations on bernier and dorre islands in shark bay ( western australia ) and on barrow island off the pilbara coast ( western australia ) ( richards 2005 ; burbidge and short 2008 ) . there are reintroduced populations on faure island in shark bay and boodie island ( both western australia ) , as well as on the mainland in scotia wildlife sanctuary ( new south wales ) , arid recovery reserve at roxby downs ( south australia ) , and heirisson prong ( western australia ) ( all three mainland sites are fenced reserves within the historical range of the species ) .
once present in all mainland states except queensland , the boodie survived as three remnant populations on small offshore islands . these islands include bernier and dorre islands in shark bay and barrow island off the northwest coast of western australia . the marsupial was listed on the 2006 iucn red list as vulnerable due to acute restriction of its area of occupancy to less than 100 km² . in 2008 , however , due to successful conservation efforts both by government agencies and the private sector , boodies have been listed on the 2008 iucn red list as near threatened , as its range and population have increased , and are still increasing . newly established populations included herrison prong on mainland shark bay by the dec , as well as faure island , scotia sanctuary , and yookamurra sanctuary , which were established by the australian wildlife conservancy .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
lamoreux , j . & hilton - taylor , c . ( global mammal assessment team )
justification : listed as near threatened because its extent of occurrence is small and it is known from just 6 - 8 locations , making it close to qualifying for vulnerable under criterion b1 . the natural populations of this species are considered stable and reintroduced populations are increasing , habitat for the species is considered stable , and although there are major threats potentially from introduced predators , fire , and disease , this species has genuinely improved in status since the prior assessment . the species occurs naturally on 3 islands , and has been introduced to another 5 localities . there is , however , uncertainty as to whether 2 of these reintroduction sites can be counted as
self - sustaining
, and thus be included in the number of locations used in the assessment . this species is also close to qualifying as having
extreme fluctuations
in population , which would also qualify it for a threatened category .
this species is found in arid and semi - arid areas of shrubland and woodland , on sandy or loose soils . currently it is found in areas with calcrete rock and sandy areas . it is nocturnal and omnivorous , and lives as loose colonies in a complex warren of underground burrows . the females breed throughout the year and usually give birth to a single young three times a year ( j . richards pers . comm . ) .
this species is listed as a threatened species under australian law . bernier , dorre , and barrow islands are all protected areas , as are all the areas where the species has been reintroduced . studies are underway into the taxonomic identity of remaining populations . there is a need to actively manage and monitor populations . this species is listed on appendix i of cites . a recovery plan for the species has been developed for the 2005 - 2010 period ( richards 2005 ) . recommendations in this plan include : protect wild populations and their habitat so that the species does not fall below the level of natural fluctuations ; maintain captive populations ( currently there are captive breeding populations at yookamurra wildlife sanctuary , scotia wildlife sanctuary , and return to dryandra field breeding facility ) ; use of population viability analysis to compare the viability of wild , current and potential reintroduced populations , and ; enhance community participation and education . the recovery plan also recommends initiating three reintroductions to the mainland within a five year period ( 2005 - 2010 ) ( richards 2005 ) . there have been reintroduction attempts in the past . many of these failed do to the presence of introduced predators , and it is clear that success of reintroductions requires sites to be free from cats and foxes . there is a proposed reintroduction to dirk hartog island , which is not possible unless feral cats there have been eradicated ( a . burbidge pers . comm . ) .

also known as lesueur’s rat kangaroo , the burrowing bettong is similar in appearance to a rat .
burrowing bettongs can live in simple burrows or large warrens with over 100 entrances inhabited by more than 50 individuals .
the burrowing bettong is a marsupial and the only burrowing member of the kangaroo family ( 4 ) ( 5 ) though , as its other common name , the lesueur’s rat kangaroo , indicates , it actually bears some resemblance to a rat . originally there were two subspecies , bettongia lesueur graii and bettongia lesueur nova , though the former subspecies is now extinct ( 1 ) . like a kangaroo , it has well developed , muscular hind limbs and short muscular forearms . the head is small with a pointed muzzle , short rounded ears and beady black eyes ( 6 ) . this mammal is covered in short dense hair which is brown to grey in colour , and has been described as ‘woolly’ as its hair is softer than that of other bettong species . burrowing bettongs also bear a faint hip stripe on the body and a distinctive white tail - tip ( 2 ) .
burrowing bettongs are strictly nocturnal and use scent to locate food , which they then dig out of the ground using their muscular limbs . this species feeds on tubers , bulbs , seed nuts , plants and fungi , termites and marine refuse ( 4 ) . burrowing bettongs have also been observed eating carrion and raiding vegetable gardens ( 4 ) .
social groups consist of one male and several females . they dig and occupy a simple burrow which may have a short tunnel and 1 - 2 entrances or a large warren with more than 100 entrances . one of these warrens may house more than 50 individuals from several groups . males are aggressive towards other males and defend the females in their group ( 4 ) .
females produce up to three litters each year with one offspring per litter , though twins are occasionally born . females will mate again shortly after giving birth . however , the second offspring is not born for around four months as embryonic development is delayed . this allows the first - born to be nurtured by the mother and gives it a better chance of survival ( 4 ) . if the first young dies , embryonic development of the following offspring begins . gestation lasts for only 21 days , and sexual maturity is attained within one year ( 4 ) .
this species no longer exists on mainland australia , and until recently was only found on three islands off the coast of western australia : barrow , dorre and bernier island ( 4 ) ( 5 ) . following a successful reintroduction by the australian wildlife conservancy ( awc ) in 2002 , this species is now also found in faure island ( 7 ) .
this small marsupial inhabits a variety of habitats from spinifex deserts to woodlands ( 5 ) .
classified as near threatened ( nt ) on the iucn red list ( 1 ) and listed on appendix i of cites ( 3 ) .
this australian species has been completely lost from the mainland , though in 1855 - 56 they were reported as being abundant . they were considered as agricultural pests by farmers who settled in australia in the 19th century , and were shot and poisoned in their hundreds ( 2 ) . introduced feral animals such as foxes are thought to have kept their numbers low , as has competition from other introduced species such as rabbits , cattle and black rats ( rattus rattus ) ( 4 ) . increased grazing and changes to fire regimes have also significantly reduced vegetation cover for this species ( 5 ) .
the four islands on which this species occurs have been declared as nature reserves ( 5 ) . dirk hartog island and the gibson desert nature reserve have also been recommended as sites for translocation of populations following the success on faure island ( 5 ) ( 7 ) . in addition , research is underway to identify the causes of this species’ decline so that conservation practices are well informed ( 5 ) . the western australian department of conservation and land management ( calm ) is responsible for the conservation of this species and it is hoped that these new efforts will enable this unique species to recover ( 5 ) .

* * * the burrowing bettong is the only burrowing species of the kangaroo family .
* * * it uses scent to locate its food , which it then digs out of the ground .
* * * in the 19th century it was considered a destructive pest of settlers ' gardens .
the burrowing bettong weighs about 2 kg ( 4 . 4 lb ) but can be lighter in some areas .
on the mainland , habitats ranged from open eucalypt or acacia woodland with a grass and shrub understory to sandridge desert covered with spinifex hummocks and sparse shrubs . in island habitats the vegetation cover consists of a variety of shrubs , herbs and grasses .
the burrowing bettong is one of the species that live in the southwest australia biodiversity hotspot ( cons . intl . ) .
sexual maturity is attained within a year . females apparently are capable of giving birth when about 200 days old .
undelayed gestation is about 21 days . ( but see birth rate below . )
a female burrowing bettong can produce up to three litters per year . breeding may go on throughout the year in some areas , but in the bernier island population most births occur between february and september .
just after one young is born the female mates again , but because of embryonic diapause development is delayed , and the second young is not born for about four months , unless the first young is lost .
the young leaves the pouch at about 115 days after birth but is not weaned for a further 3 - 10 weeks .
it mainly consumes tubers , bulbs , seed nuts and the green parts of plants . some communities have been known to eat fungi , termites and marine refuse , as well as to raid vegetable gardens .
a male and several females form a social group and occupy a burrow . the burrow may be a simple structure with only 1 - 2 entrances and a short tunnel , or a large warren with more than 100 entrances . one of these warrens may house more than 50 individuals . males are aggressive toward one another , and seem to defend groups of females but not a particular territory . females generally are amicable , but sometimes will establish a territory and exclude other females .

amongst examples of this species from karori sent by mr . hudson is a female , which is quite similar in colouring to the male . when , however ,
i originally described the species , from a series taken by myself at hamilton , i treated a widely different female specimen with reddish - ochreous forewings and whitish hindwings as being the other sex of the species ; after reconsideration of the specimens , all taken together in the same locality , this still seems to me to be probably correct . i desire to direct the attention of collectors to this peculiar case ; it ought not to be difficult to determine whether the species has a dimorphic female ( which would be unprecedented in this group ) , or whether there is some error .
