Reason: Fairly similar rationale to the Bandicoot. The photo was taken at night with flashes. This species went extinct on the Australian mainland thanks to introduced species (cats, rabbits and foxes are the most major). File:Tasmanian Bettong (female).JPG is probably the best of the other available Bettong pictures for all species in the genus, including captivity shots.

Support Great DOF other than on the tail, which would have been nice to also capture... But other than that small point a very wel taken picture and a cutie to boot! Gazhiley (talk) 10:35, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Gaz. J Milburn (talk) 11:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The lighting in this one makes it a little more clear that it was taken at night. Looks a bit like soft floodlighting at a football ground or something actually. Anyway, again, good capture, you've obviously got a useful set up for nocturnal animals. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Almost perfect per Gazhiley and its rear foot. --I'ḏ ♥One 00:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Very nice. The amount of work that must have gone into setting up and staking out this shot sure is impressive. --Dschwen 18:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Hanging around at night in a cold, dark reserve in the middle of winter is not my idea of fun, but you have somehow lured this creature to your camera setup and even got him to smile for you! Melburnian (talk) 06:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
