User's notes
Here are the only photos I've got of the smallest ones, presumably these are the Southern Brown Bandicoots. They were not shy, practically running around my feet. It was easier when the Potoroos were all in the Koala forest, and the Bandicoots in the Sanctuary, but now they are all together, and I had assumed the white tail-tip was the defining characteristic, but obviously that is not so. I still cannot find them in the categories though. And yes, they were reintroduced into the Sanctuary.
