[...] Yesterday’s post reminded me to look up some information on the small, striped, squirrel-like creatures I saw running around Dryandra. Turns out they’re not Indian palm squirrels that have escaped from Perth zoo. They are, in fact, native animals called numbats. We saw lots of these so-called numbats running around the place, but unfortunately I didn’t get any good photos. Of course, a dodgy photo of a numbat is still pretty good, what with them being the cutest creatures on the face of the planet and so on and so forth. Here, then, are some dodgy numbat photos (meaning the photos are dodgy, not the numbats. I didn’t get to know the numbats well enough to make aspersions about their characters in that manner). [...]

Hi Robyn,

I’m sure the python will be fine. It’s coming into Spring/Summer, so he’ll start feeding on whatever squirrel-sized mammals he can get his teeth into.

Great. The poor python does not look well, do you think he will survive being so skinny.

I have also been involved in TDWG workshops in Canberra.
