Potoroo or Bandicoot? Can you spot the difference? #australia #wildlife #potoroo #bandicoot #nature

Do you know how to tell a Southern Brown Bandicoot from a Long-nosed Potoroo?

Easiest way? Watch how they move.

Bandicoots run low to the ground. Potoroos can stand on their back legs and hop like tiny kangaroos. Potoroos also have a rounder snout, softer fur and a long, hairy tail compared to Bandicoots.

What they do have in common is their role, they are both soil engineers, shaping ecosystems as they dig for food.

Now you know who's, who!
