Nothing waddles more gloriously than an #echidna. They have a unique arrangement of bones in their shoulders and hips, giving them a perfect rolling gait. They walk as if they're humming "BOMP-TE-BOMP BOMPETTY BOMP-TE-BOMP" to themselves.

A slightly brirry nighttime photo of a chudditch - the animals is chestnut brown with white spots. It is feeding on a dead western grey kangaroo. The quoll's pink nose is just visible.
The prettiest of Australia's four species of #quoll is arguably the chudditch (western quoll). Unfortunately you can't tell from this terrible photo, partly because it has its face buried in a kangaroo.

One of Australia's most beautiful hopping #marsupials: the western brush wallaby. Also known as the black-gloved #wallaby, is has black hands, toes and ears; and a white face-stripe. 🦘

Everybody's snuffling. This speedy #echidna is in a hurry to find some termites.

The #echidna's diggings attract the attention of the rufous tree-creeper - looking to snaffle whatever insects escape the echidna's tongue.

Every Australian campsite barbecue has a cheeky brushtail #possum (called Gordon).
