Have you ever heard of the rufous bettong (Aepyprymnus rufescens)? Also known as the “rat-kangaroo,” this small marsupial typically weighs around 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg)—about the size of a rabbit! This nocturnal critter can hop like a kangaroo and might cover up to 2.8 mi (4.5 km) in a night while searching for food such as herbs and fungi.
