Adorable marsupials that look like"mini kangaroos on steroids" are bouncing back in southern Australia after disappearing from the region for more than 100 years.
"They're like a little, ankle-sized kangaroo — a mini kangaroo on steroids if you like," Derek Sandow, an ecologist with the Northern and Yorke Landscape Board in South Australia, told the French News Agency ."They've got really powerful hind legs, they carry their young in their pouch, like a kangaroo does, but they're only a kilo and a half ."
"On the southern Yorke peninsula, we've actually got geography on our side," Sandow told ABC Radio Adelaide."We've got a foot-shaped peninsula, ocean on three sides.
