Help Woylies

Cute, fury, brown, grey and white.
What am I? I’m quite a sight
Long tail, twitching nose and beady eyes like a rat
I’m a woylie and I’m terrified of feral cats
I can fit in the palm of your hand
Where will you find me? In the warm grass land
I don’t bring this up to be grim
But woylies' numbers are very slim
I am a part of the rat kangaroo clan
When foxes see me, they’re not my biggest fan
You see, to them I’m a tasty snack
I must hide to stay away from their pack
I'm a busy marsupial, most active at night
When my eyes glow red, you’re in for a real fright
My diet is varied, but my favourite food is truffle
Don’t try and take it from me, you’ll be in for a scuffle
Love me or hate me I’m just as cute as can be
But I’m scared in the future you may not see me
For woylies are endangered and in order to survive
We must keep away our predators in order to thrive
