Rufous Bettongs

A nocturnal visitor to my camp, the Rufous Bettong is a small macropod (“big foot”, = kangaroo or wallaby) of woodlands in north-eastern Australia.
They build a nest among grass as a day-time retreat, and feed by digging for tubers and fungi as well as grazing and eating seeds and some insects.
These, I assume, are a mother (left) and young one.
