The boodie will even climb into low shrubs to find food.

The forelimbs are used for support when the boodie is stationary.

Ms. Boodie, a refinery worker, received welfare benefits for her 8-year-old daughter.

If conditions are good, the Boodie seems to mate throughout the year, probably utilizing a polygynous mating system.

Before its extinction on the mainland, the boodie served a very important function in the Australian grassland ecosystem.

The boodie is nocturnal, sheltering during the day in burrows and foraging widely at night for food.

The boodie belongs to the family Potoroidae, which includes the rat-kangaroos, potoroos, and other bettongs.

Also, introduced species such as foxes, cats, and rabbits took a severe toll on the boodie, especially on islands.

The boodie (Bettongia lesueur), also known as the burrowing bettong, is a small marsupial.

The boodie is a small, rat-like marsupial with short, rounded ears and a lightly haired, thick tail.

Once present in all mainland states except Queensland, the boodie survived on three remnant populations on small offshore islands.

Researchers have proposed many possible causes for the boodie's decline on mainland Australia, which began once Australia was colonized.

Two others who remained on strike, Cheryl Boodie and Mary Lou Fenice, had a harder time.

Working closely with the school's Board of Governors, Winder Smith or "Boodie" as he was known, worked diligently to retire the debt.

The boodie once lived in a range of dry subtropical and tropical habitats, from open eucalyptus and acacia woodlands to arid spinifex grasslands.

Tyrone give his boodie and Leroy so scared he almos' throw hisself off the roof and drink hisself blind on pruno.

Once the most common macropodiform mammal on the whole continent, the boodie now only lives on off-lying islands and in a newly introduced population on the mainland at Shark Bay.

In 1967, according to FBI affidavits, "Fat Herbie" ordered the murder of associate loan shark and bookmaker Arthur "Boodie" Cowan for holding back a street tax.

Threatened fauna species include Malleefowl, Emu, Southern hairy-nosed wombat, Western Grey Kangaroo, Red Kangaroo, Numbat, Greater Bilby, Boodie, Woylie and Short-beaked Echidna.

However, sub-fossil evidence of the former presence of native mammals has brought reintroduction of the Boodie, Shark Bay Mouse, Banded Hare-wallaby and Western Barred Bandicoot and Greater Stick-nest Rat.

When he was convicted of bookmaking by the FBI and sent to prison, Herbert took over his clientele along with mob bookmaker's Boodie Cowan, a bookmaker that was suspected of being murdered by Anthony Spilotro.

Also, three subspecies of the boodie exist: Bettongia lesueur graii, the extinct mainland subspecies; Bettongia lesueur nova, an undescribed species on Barrow and Brodie Island; and Bettongia lesueur lesueur.

So, even after she's done this business of shaking her ancient old boodie in everybody's faces, and her kid tells her she could have been a star, Rose just tells the truth - she says, 'No.' Like everyone else in this play, she wants something she doesn't have, but it's not fame, or to be a great performer.

This species has a more slender build and larger ears than its relative the Burrowing Bettong.

The boodie (Bettongia lesueur), also known as the burrowing bettong, is a small marsupial.

This allows a carefully balanced ecology to develop, including reintroduction of the endangered Burrowing Bettong, which was wiped out on the mainland 50 years ago.

Useless Loop has won awards in recent years due to its support of programs to protect and relocate Australian endangered mammals including the Burrowing Bettong.

The burrowing bettong eats a variety of food, such as seeds, fruits, flowers, tubers, roots, succulent leaves, grasses, fungi, termites, and marine refuse.

Subfossil records of the burrowing bettong have been found in West Victoria, western New South Wales, and South Australia.

Mammals historically present on the property include the Numbat, Bilby, Burrowing Bettong, Western Barred Bandicoot and Chuditch.

Species reintroduced so far include: Numbat, Greater Bilby, Burrowing Bettong, Brush-tailed Bettong, Bridled Nailtail Wallaby and Greater Stick-nest Rat.

Moves are supported for the reintroduction of locally extinct animals such as Malleefowl, Common Brushtail Possum, Rufous hare-wallaby or Mala, Bilby, Burrowing Bettong and the Black-flanked Rock-wallaby.
