Pademelon!

Another animal to add to the list of animals to name alphabetically in my head to will myself to sleep at night.

Here's that blog post with the full recap of my recent trip to #Hobart

There's a handful of photos in here that I'm really stoked on. 📸

I added all the camera and lens settings meta-data to each photo as best I could.

Believe it or not I actually went out to get the sunset this evening (which I did get) but I found a little friend to photograph in my front yard in Rosebery Tasmania too! 12 02 24 #pademelon

I think it's time this pademelon baby moved out as it has well and truly outgrown its childhood home.😂 (video)

Caught a pademelon on the wildlife camera we left outside the caravan last night.

The Tasmanian Pademelon is a unique species, different to other pademelons on the mainland of Australia. This small marsupial is very furry, has small round ears and a scrappy little tail. Besides being much smaller, the wispy tail is a good way to differentiate between wallabies and pademelons.

But as if Tasmanian Pademelons couldn't get any cuter, they're also known a Rufous-Bellied Pademelons because they have yellowy-red fur on their tummies ❤️ 😍 😳

I saw this little one when walking around the Nut in Stanley.

In one of the greatest television moments ever, during the build up to the #uswnt game, and a close up shot of Maddie the Pademelon, Maddie immediately pooped.

This is on FOX of course, where on screen defection content from on air talent is not only normal, but celebrated.

Hoping for a second season of #Deadloch after watching the finale yesterday. Great series from Downunder (#Tasmania ) full of surprises and turns. Special humour and characters a must see.

#Pademelon is such a funny name for an animal, and they are looking so cute!

@loren I can't bring myself to make things up, so here's a short clip of a pademelon joey being naughty instead.

@loren Sorry you had a shitty day. I thought maybe you could use a pademelon hug.

Photo of two pademelons, which are like small chonky kangaroos, standing in the forest. One is slightly smaller and has its arms around the other, and head squeezed under the larger ones chin.

I suspect this is a large juvenile and its mother.

The photo is a bit grainy as is was captured from a trailcam.

Just spent the morning reinforcing my little veggie garden with wire all around.

It was just covered with bird netting but a few nights ago one large pademelon noticed grass, weeds and cabbages in there. He also worked out that if he shoved his head at the netting hard enough he could tear a hole in the netting and let himself (and a baby rabbit at one point) in for a snack.

After making new holes for the last three nights he's not going to be happy tonight, but my cabbages will be.

This photo isn't him. Males are musclier but I don't have a good photo.

Photo of a pademelon, with is like a cute little chonky kangaroo, pacing the camera. Its eyes and nose are black and beady, ears on top of its head are facing forward to listen, and its little arms and hands are held in front of its body. Its belly is soft and fluffy looking.

*Long update post*

A month ago, on my old instance, I posted this photo of a tiny pademelon joey we found wandering about without a mother. Although small to be on his own, he (joeys all seem like boys to me, but it might be a girl) was able to feed himself, had good hiding instincts and the weather was warm so we thought he'd be able to survive OK without human assistance.

I'm happy to say he's fine, and we named him Chandler (Joey, Chandler, get it?). Every night, we watched him hop from the forest to the house at dusk. He initially preferred to eat little grass shoots between the paving and in the driveway gravel, but after a couple of weeks he moved around to the other side of the house where it's more grassy.

He's grown now, so we can't identify him amongst the other joeys that are ganining independence but I'm sure Chandi's there with the rest of them.

Photo of a baby pademelon, which is like a small cute kangaroo, stands on some red paving bricks. It's side on, facing slightly away from the camera and its head down. It has black beady eyes and is looking for grass in the gaps between the paving.

Just checked a trailcam and found a photo of a pademelon on an invisible hoverbike.😂

Photo of a pademelon (small, kangaroo-like animal) in mid-leap. Its position makes it look like it was riding a hoverbike that has been edited from the photo.
There are some chunks missing from her fur. This is a normal consequence of mating and most adult females look like this.

Meet our marsupial gardening crew. Every night, 30 - 100 pademelons and a few wallabies look after the lawns. They take care of mowing, edging and fertilising.

We don't see possums every night, but there's often 1 - 6 of them. They take care of eating all fruit from the fruit trees and destroying any part of the vegetable garden that isn't fully enclosed so it's lucky they're cute.

Photo of a Tasmanian pademon standing upright facing the camera. It's like a cute stumpy kangaroo with fluffy brown fur, shiny black eyes and nose, ears facing forwards and tiny hands held in front of its body.

Photo of a Bennett's wallaby. These are about twice as tall as a pademelon and look just like mini kangaroos. This one is side-on to the camera. Its back is brown, front and tail are light grey, snout and paws are black. It also looks like it is wearing light-brown eyeshadow.

Photo of brushtailed possum sitting on a deck looking through a window. Most of its fur is flecked grey, black and cream but its chest is cream with a dark brown stripe down the middle. Its tail is pluffy and black. The nose and ears are pale pink and it has black whiskers. This one is slightly wet from a sprinkling of rain.

An adorable Pademelon. This little Wallaby lives in Cradle Vally Tasmania, a place that has enchanted paths though moss covered Forrests.

I love Tasmania and have been lucky enough to have visited several times. I dream of moving there one day soon.
