Habitat and Geographic Range

The woylie is now found only in southwestern Western Australia but formerly ranged from Shark Bay to N S W and northwestern Victoria. They live in the shrubby understory of dry eucalypt forest and woodland.

Food and Foraging

Animals feed at night on insects, seeds, plant tubers, roots and bulbs and on underground fungi which they scratch out of the ground.
