They eat a variety of food bark, insects, grass and old crispy leaves. They only eat about 5-10g a fortnight.

Why are they endangered

They were first found in 1963 and the aboriginal people thought they were a threat and killed most of them and there was only about 50 left in the wild at that time.

Them a man called Daniel Jackson from Sydney agued it is extremly mean to just kill them because of there belief. If they carry on in this way they will be extinct in thye next two years.
