I'll see your porcupine and raise you an echidna Terry. Lots more spikes and named after the fierce Greek goddess Echidna - half woman half snake, known as The Mother of all Monsters!! Actually that's a little unfair, they're not exactly ferocious. Basically a large spiky ball that burrows down when cornered, impossible to budge.

We were getting regular visits from the Greater Australian Humming Bird (bovem de stercore) a couple of years ago, they really make an entrance...starting at about 4.00am

Wayne,I see you feed him/her. Are they fairly tame, or do they run when get close?

Our resident 'Kitty Cat', looking for lunch ..... now a tasty morsel like an Aussie Bandicoot might go down well....

Puma concolor aka Mountain Lion come to check out what I'd been working on. This was taken by the trailcam around midday, which is a bit concerning!! Don't mind Kitty wandering about when I'm not there, but .....

Bloody hell

That would scare the crap out of me . Do you wear a side arm ?

Mike, I have one of those kitty cats too. This photo was from 2014 (a few hundred yards behind my house), but the cats are seen regularly. Its just hard to catch them on camera.

Lynn, not tame but some are fearless.

This female is skittish but the other male will climb on you for attention/a handout. They are wild animals and you should never try to pick one up or you'll find out how wild.

Like most wild things in Oz it either bites, stings or will eat you.

Mike, nice pussy. "Tasty" and "Bandicoot" do not often appear in a sentence.
