Due to the fact that we will still be camping and birding when this goes online I thought I could share some photos of a well-known marsupial in the southern parts of Australia. We spent two months in Portland, Victoria in late 2009 with Grant’s work and whenever we could we were birding.

Among mammals, bipedalism is found in several rodents, a number of marsupials, and one primate. Bipedalism is somewhat rare these days in the animal world. Facultative (occasional, used when needed) bipedalism occurs in one group of carnivores.

In Australia, however, the endangered marsupial is making a comeback, due in large part to a recently launched “Save the Bilby&# fund. Outside of Australia, the bilby is a little-known animal that occasionally draws comparisons to Star Wars’ Yoda character. Read all about Bringing Back The Bilby in this article.

It’s when we lost the mammoths, the sabre-tooth cats, the giant ground sloths, the elephant birds, the marsupial lions, and other iconic giants. The prehistoric extinctions most famously include the megafaunal assemblages of Europe, the Americas, Australia and Madagascar.

The Northern Brown Bandicoot ( Isoodon macrourus ) is a marsupial of the forest floor. Most of these were easy enough to find on later dates,along with the smaller native Bush Rats, but I only saw one Striped Possum. But I still spent time at the Lodge looking for other things, and I continued to pick up great birds.

Rather than risk getting attacked the marsupials will dig into the dry riverbed until they reach water and drink from that area instead. Euros are shaggy, heavy built marsupials with hair rather than fur and male Euro can weigh up to 55 kilograms. We observed both Agile Wallabies and Euros at the Behn River.

Along the track we noticed a variety of prints including birds, marsupials and more recently wild camels. This was another plant species that did not appear to attract birds, but was spectacular never the less. Velliia panduriformis.
