Genus Potorous is a group of small marsupials native to Australia. The term "Potorous" is derived from the Greek word "potoroo," which means "drinker." There are three species in this genus: the long-footed potoroo, the long-nosed potoroo, and the Gilbert's potoroo. Synonyms for this genus include Bettongia, Aepyprymnus, and Thylogale. These animals are typically found in dense forests and are known for their unique hopping gait, which is similar to kangaroos. They are also known for their long tails, which they use for balance and support while eating, climbing, and running. Despite their small size, potoroos are important members of the Australian ecosystem.
