White-headed capuchins are highly social, living in groups of 16 individuals on average, about three quarters of which are females. Groups consists of related females, immigrant males, and offspring. On average, females birth offspring every 27 months even though they mate throughout the year.

Boodie
The boodie , also known as the burrowing bettong, is a small marsupial. Its population is an example of the effects of introduced animals on Australian fauna and ecosystems. Once the most common macropodiform mammal on the whole continent, the boodie now only lives on off-lying islands and in a newly introduced population on the mainland at Shark Bay.This animal, first collected during an 1817 French expedition of the west coast, was named after Charles Lesueur, an artist and naturalist who accompanied a previous French expedition. B. lesueur is known by many common names, including the tungoo, Lesueur’s rat-kangaroo, and the short-nosed rat-kangaroo
French Bettongie De Lesueur, Kangourou-rat De Lesueur.SpanishCanguro-rata De Lesueur.
SizeHead/body length: 37 cm
Tail length: 30 cm
Weight: 970 - 1530 g
Age to Maturity: Sexual maturity is attained within a year. Females apparently are capable of giving birth when about 200 days old.
Birth Season: A female burrowing bettong can produce up to three litters per year. Breeding may go on throughout the year in some areas, but in the Bernier Island population most births occur between February and September.
Diet: It mainly consumes tubers, bulbs, seed nuts and the green parts of plants. Some communities have been known to eat fungi, termites and marine refuse, as well as to raid vegetable gardens.
Behavior: The burrowing bettong is strictly nocturnal.
Social Organization: A male and several females form a social group and occupy a burrow. The burrow may be a simple structure with only 1-2 entrances and a short tunnel, or a large warren with more than 100 entrances. One of these warrens may house more than 50 individuals. Males are aggressive toward one another, and seem to defend groups of females but not a particular territory. Females generally are amicable, but sometimes will establish a territory and exclude other females.
Near Threatened
