One hundred cute little bandicoots—small marsupials [pouched mammals] that look like a mix between a rabbit and a rat—have just moved back to Phillip Island in Australia! These animals had completely disappeared from the island a long time ago, but now scientists have brought them back, and they're hopping around and making themselves at home. It's like a real-life rescue mission for an animal that everyone thought was gone forever!
