Long-footed potoroo

The long-footed potoroo (''Potorous longipes'') is a species of potoroo found in southeastern Australia, in a small area around the coastal border between New South Wales and Victoria. It was discovered in 1967 when an adult male was caught in a dog trap in the forest southwest of Bonang, Victoria. It is classified as endangered.〔
The long-footed potoroo is the largest potoroo, and is very similar to the long-nosed potoroo (''Potorous tridactylus''). It is a solitary nocturnal creature, feeding on fungi, vegetation and small invertebrates. It differs from the long-nosed potoroo in its larger feet and longer tail.
Current threats to the species include predation by introduced feral cats and foxes, as well as logging within its limited range.
==Taxonomy==
The scientific name of the animal commonly known as the long-footed potorro is ''Potorous longipes''. Potorro is the common name for all of the four species belonging to the genus Potorous: Gilbert's potoroo (''P. gilbertii''), the long-footed potoroo (''P. longipes''), and the broad-faced potoroo (''P. platyops''), and the long-nosed potoroo (''P. tridactylus'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edgeofexistence.org/mammals/species_info.php?id=70 )〕 The long-footed potoroo is the largest potoroo, and is very similar to the long-nosed potoroo (Potorous tridactylus). The long-footed potoroo was first discovered in 1967 in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It was later described in 1980. Remains of the long-footed potoroo were found in a predator droppings in 1986〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.environment.gov.au/resource/long-footed-potoroo-potorous-longipes-recovery-plan )
