Pademelons

Weird name, but very cute wallaby type creature (large cat/ small dog size).

They are (we’ve been told) devoid of brain cells so given the choice of avoiding a car they seem to be attracted by the prospect and consequently get squished, however careful the driver. This then attracts any scavenging Tassie devils, putting them at risk.

Sadly there are lots of little furry bodies lining the sides of most roads.

We have pademelons on our site, if popping to the loo when it’s dark, they’re foraging amongst the leaves and when scared, they lope off like ‘roos.もっと詳しく
