My world Tuesday – Marsupials.

Many of the photographs I have added to this blog could have been taken anywhere – but not these. These are all images of marsupials – and as people probably know Australia is marsupial central. So here are some images.
First are two images of Tasmanian Devils, sadly these were taken at a wildlife sanctuary because they are becoming increasingly rare in the wild. A form of cancer is killing the animal in the wild, and there is a good chance that it will become extinct. If that happens we will have lost the world’s largest remaining marsupial carnivore.





























Next we have a Common Wombat – these are common in some places, and in national parks can be a bit of a pain if you are camping – not as painful as a bear, but they still steal your food! Wombats are the largest hole dwelling herbivores in the world!













The animal on the wire is a Ringtail Possum. This is a common urban animal, and we it decides to live in your roof it becomes the world’s most annoying animal, and can make more noise than you would have thought possible.















Last but by no means least we have some Kangaroos – these are Eastern Grey Kangaroos feeding on a sports oval in The Grampians. Up to 35 of these animals gather there to feed in the evenings and generally put on a good show for the tourists!
