Definition och Betydelse av "boodie"

What is a "boodie"?

The boodie, also known as the burrowing bettong, is a small marsupial found in Australia. It has a compact body with a rounded head, short ears, and a long, furry tail. Its fur can range in color from grey to brown, with a distinctive white underbelly. The boodie is known for its excellent burrowing skills, using its strong forelimbs and sharp claws to dig complex burrow systems in sandy soils. It is primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plant materials such as seeds, fruits, and tubers. The boodie is known for its unique behavior of "tidying up" its burrow, collecting debris and creating neat piles of food and waste outside its burrow entrance. The boodie plays an important ecological role as a seed disperser and contributes to nutrient cycling in the Australian ecosystems where it is found.
