"A football-sized relative of kangaroos, the burrowing bettong once thrived across much of Australia's arid and semi-arid interior."

"Then, within a century of European settlement, the marsupials vanished from most of the mainland."

"Like many native animals, the population was decimated by feral cats and foxes."

Wiped off mainland Australia by the introduction of cats and foxes, burrowing bettongs are making a triumphant comeback in outback NSW.
