*Update* When I first posted this last week I assumed it was another, smaller, Golden-backed tree rat. Thanks to someone much more knowledgeable than me it turns out it's a Brush-tailed Rabbit Rat. You learn something new every day. Cheers Tom.
Uunguu Rangers recently completed surveys of the Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat, and confirmed that Wunambal Gaambera Country remains the stronghold for the species in Western Australia. The name ‘rabbit-rat’ relates to the large upright ears on the rat. Conilurus is one of a small set of “old endemic” (conilurine) Australian rodent genera, thought to have originated from arrival in Australia at least 4-5 million years ago. This brush-tailed rabbit-rat is the only extant member of its genus. Two other extinct species are known from Eastern Australia. It historically extended across monsoonal northern Australia but is now limited to the Tiwi Islands, Groote Eylandt, Inglis Island, Cobourg Peninsula and Kakadu in the Northern Territory, southern Papua New Guinea and high rainfall parts of the North Kimberley with recent records only from Mitchell Plateau and Mt Trafalgar in the Prince Regent R. ~ Uunguu Life
....poor little rat..! Yes, we can still very well see the arrow bullet point🙀. Beautiful pictures! The Kimberleys have come back to life. Again, what a difference between October and now. It makes you want to come back..., but only after everything has been cleaned up of course 🤣🤣🤣🙋♀️
Fantastic to see the waterfalls and another Golden Backed Tree rat. I am happy you posted as, after 4 days of nothing, I thought you were flooded out or drowned. Bob and I are serious about next year.
Thanks for the posts.
