Woylie (Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi)

Thanks for the pictures Michal Sloviak! Do you know what animals were housed together with the Woylies at the time of your visit?

Woylies at Plzen Zoo inhabit exposure together with Ground cuscus (Phalanger gymnotis) and Common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). In addition other pair is temporarily placed in the exposure of Garnett's Galago (Otolemur garnettii).

Thanks! I wonder whether there are no problems with the Ground Cuscus as these inhabit the ground as well…

I don't know exactly, but apparently there are not problems. The exposure is sufficiently large with plenty of hiding places. Until last year, there lived also Striped possum (Dactylopsila trivirgata).

The woylie above is building a nest - have they bred here before?

True, you can see the tail is wrapped around a hay bundle
