TASSIE WILDLIFE

The ever-present plovers.  Apparently very territorial and protective of their young.  Not surprising, as they nest on the ground.

 Tassie devils at a wildlife park.  Lovely healthy teenagers.  Although carnivorous they only eat carrion.

Also at the wildlife park were quolls.  They are carnivorous too, but they like to hunt and kill their prey.  This guy was very snoozy when the keeper first brought him out to show us.  But he got very fidgety when he woke up.

These young wombats were very happy and healthy.  They were orphans that were being reared by the wildlife park, for release back to the wild.

Then in the wild (actually nightly visitors to a friend's garden) were these cute little pademelons.
