I went on a walk, expecting to see the moon, and the ocean, maybe talk about life…

What I didn’t expect was to see about 15 small rock wallabies;

(Not my photo)

I crouched down and got really excited when one came close to me, and it started to sniff my shoes. I walked around for a bit, then sat on the ground, and invited another over. This one was a mother, and had a tiny baby in its pouch! I was in awe, it was so cute, but protective of its child, so no pats… yet!

After a while, another came up to me, and reached out and sniffed my finger. I took it as an invitation, and gave it some neck scratches. In return I got licked on the finger :D

And then one bit my finger but oh well

They are friends

(idk when yellow footed rock wallabies first broke off into an individual species, but perhaps Thylacinus Cynocephalus was on the mainland then)

Also I found the resource I've been looking for to make that art project of thylacinid family tree.
