The newly reintroduced #marsupials are already making themselves at home.
The freshly released kowaris (beautiful fluffy-tailed predators) are expanding lizard and mice burrows, as well as digging their own, at @AridRecovery. #fieldwork #MammalWatching #WildOz #rewilding

Here is an animation of 5 male northern quolls showing how far these little guys can travel over the course of roughly 20 days. For small (<800 g) marsupials, they sure do love exploring! #quollpatrol #dataviz
