No Brush-tailed possum?

The enclosure in the aviary is currently empty. The golden ones were a no show, but that’s hardly surprising given my visit occurred in the middle of Storm Dennis and they’re not showy even on the best weather days!

From a rare mid-week Melbourne visit:
5. Tasmanian devil - Sarcophilus harrisii

And a frankly disappointing total from a trip to Healesville today:
6. Short-beaked echidna - Tachyglossus aculeatus
7. Red kangaroo - Macropus rufus
8. Goodfellow’s tree-kangaroo - Dendrolagus goodfellowi
9. Brush-tailed bettong - Bettongia penicillata
10. Sugar glider - Petaurus breviceps
11. Squirrel glider - Petaurus norfolcensis
12. Greater bilby - Macrotis lagotis
13. Northern quoll - Dasyurus hallucatus
14. Fat-tailed dunnart - Sminthopsis crassicaudata
15. Mountain pygmy possum - Burramys parvus
16. Red-necked wallaby - Macropus bennetti
17. Brush-tailed rock-wallaby - Petrogale penicillata

Pretty sure I won’t be winning this one.

A reasonably productive day, though common wombats continue to evade me, as absurd as that sounds..

Phillip Island Wildlife Park
18. Red-necked Pademelon - Thylogale thetis
19. Swamp Wallaby - Wallabia bicolor
20. Spotted-tail Quoll - Dasyurus maculatus
21. Parma Wallaby - Macropus parma
22. Tammar wallaby - Macropus eugenii
23. Black-striped Wallaby - Macropus dorsalis
24. Common Wallaroo - Macropus robustus
25. Eastern Grey Kangaroo - Macropus giganteus

Moonlit Sanctuary
26. Feathertail glider - Acrobates pygmaeus
27. Yellow-bellied glider - Petaurus australis
28. Long-nosed potoroo - Potorous tridactylus

Very likely that I’ve already seen a good two-thirds of my annual total.

It’s going to be quite time-consuming to win this challenge if you keep taking it one species at a time.

The one time Australians should be happy to be Australian.

Well, except when you plan to spend the majority of the year overseas. Thanks @ThylacineAlive .

Your integrity is noteworthy, admirable and still very annoying.

That's both a secret and not fully decided yet If it even goes through..

Your integrity is noteworthy, admirable and still very annoying.

For you and me both!

Scientific names would be appreciated moving forward as well

(not that I imagine we'll have a whole lot of confusion as to which common name is for which species as far as marsupials are concerned)
