The woylie (Bettongia ogilbyi), also known as the brush-tailed bettong, is an extremely rare small marsupial that belongs to the genus Bettongia. It is endemic to Australia. Formerly it had two separate subspecies, Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi and the now extinct Bettongia penicillata penicillata. This species has a more slender build and larger ears than its relative the burrowing bettong. Order: Diprotodontia, Family: Potoroidae, Genus: Bettongia, Species: Bettongia penicillata Gray, 1837
