The woylie or brush-tailed bettong (Bettongia penicillata ) is an extremely rare, small marsupial, belonging to the genus Bettongia, that is endemic to Australia. There are two subspecies: B. p. ogilbyi, and the now extinct B. p. penicillata.

Evidence from Aboriginal people and early explorer records suggest that woylies were once widespread and abundant across Australia south of the tropics, including the central deserts in central Western Australia and into the southern region of the Northern Territory.

Woylie (‘Woli’ according to Noongar orthography) is a Noongar Aboriginal name for this species (Abbott 2001). Other Indigenous names include Woylyer and Karpitchi. Formerly very widespread, woylies once occupied most of the Australian mainland south of the tropics.

The effects on the Woylie populations throughout Western Australia with the removal of their habitat and the introduction and spread of predatory animals has been significant. The Woylie is listed as critically endangered with some providences on the verge of extinction.
