you’re not a true dasyuromorph disciple until you have a wild quoll walk up to you and sniff your phone

Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), juveniles, family Myrmecobiidae, Western Australia

ENDANGERED.

Sometimes referred to as the "Marsupial Anteater", and like "true anteaters", they actually eat mainly termites.

Once wide spread across Australia, they are now only found in small colonies in Western Australia and NSW.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Not all marsupials have a pouch for their young! Meet Gardner's short-tailed possum; a member of the marsupial family that looks more like a mouse than a possum. This species was only formally recognized in 2013, and was characterized as a member of the Didelphidae family due to its separated hind toes, which are characteristic of possums. However, Monodelphis gardneri lacks a reproductive pouch, and it is likely that its young are much more developed at birth than other marsipual joeys.

Something about Bruce still hanging around lower-class areas. Not just as Batman with crime rates and all that, but billionaire Bruce Wayne. Because his parents took him to places from their childhoods and he grew up under Dr. Thompkins so he spends his time sitting in a shotty theater, watching circus performers, spending time with the community he resides over. The other socialites sit and ignore the plights of the working class or even outright abuse them, but not Bruce.

Something about Bruce taking in all these lower-class kids. Whether son of an immigrant, from a poor neighborhood, abusive parents. All children that society would have thrown away. He raises them to spread the same kindness, to spread hope to those like them. He surrounds himself with people at the bottom. His wife a convicted criminal, his father a butler, his friends reporters and felons.

Something about Bruce dedicating his life to reaching down to pull everyone else up.
