EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a tiny tot with a big appetite! This adorable Musky Rat-kangaroo and her joey are having a feast on fallen seeds in the heart of Atherton Tableland, Queensland. Standing at just 23cms long, this rare marsupial may be small in size but definitely not in cuteness! The Musky Rat-kangaroo is not your typical kangaroo - it's quadrupedal and only active during the day. It's like the mini version of its larger relatives down under. And look at that little joey snugly tucked away in momma's pouch, enjoying a tasty meal. Australia never ceases to amaze us with its unique wildlife, and this photo perfectly captures the beauty of our furry friends. The lush greenery surrounding them adds an extra touch of enchantment to this already magical moment. It's fascinating how nature works its wonders - from the nurturing bond between mother and young to the intricate feeding habits of these macropods. These precious creatures remind us to appreciate every little thing life has to offer. So next time you stumble upon a fallen seed or catch sight of some wildlife action, take a moment to cherish those simple joys just like our lovely Musky Rat-kangaroo family here.
