st_aurafinaYesterday, the boy cat brought home a snack sized possum baby. It was still alive, and we caught it in a lunch-box, and released it in the garden. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilacsigil did some research online, and we decided it was a baby ring tail possum. This website led us to investigate the identity of the unknown marsupial. A few summers ago we found a something under the piano. It was dead, and it was mysterious. It wasn't a rat, and it wasn't a possum. It had a marsupial head, and big round mousy ears. We wondered if the cats had killed the last of an endangered species, and we started locking them up at night. As it turns out, it was an agile antechinus. And thankfully not endangered. We also learned that the funny little black wallabies we sometimes see are called Black Stinkers, and that the time we thought we saw a thylacine it was probably a quoll. Good to know.
