My hair is a lot shorter now.
Also, it's a dark brown-red.
I'm a fan.
Glen's a fan.
My cats were like 'what the fuck? Get that chemical shit away from us right now.'


I am the prettiest white tammar wallaby out of all the white tammar wallabies.





Bennett's wallaby.






Oh hai, I'm totally feral in Australia, and yet there are more of me in Melbourne city than there are in the entire UK. I like to eat native animals and birds, and I'm still awesome.





Fiiiiiiierce.





Fruit bats are like so cute, even if they do pass on horrendously fatal diseases.





They were also quite active!





I'm a koala. I'm stoned. My breath smells like lozenges.





Leucistic (NOT albino) red kangaroo. With a 'I'm probably too big to really adequately fit in here anymore' joey. It's probably reached that point where Mum is like, 'now, honey, you have a job and really are quite capable of getting around on your own now oh what the fuck, I'm taking a nap.)





Putu, Glen and I decided that this red kangaroos sleeps like Moet sleeps.





Another red kangaroo.





A whole trio of red kangaroos!





I quite liked these guys.





Swamp wallaby.





Also a swamp wallaby.





Aside from the fact that it looks like a giant white rat, the leucistic tammar wallabies are really quite beguiling.





OH YEAH, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE, OH YEAH. (This, for the record, is a wombat)

Amazing photos! I've never seen a wombat or a wallaby before... I didn't realize that wallabies had hands like that. They remind me of rat hands... very articulated. Cool :) Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful white (leucistic) tammar. ^_^ The cute wallaby just below the tammar is a swamp wallaby, not a Bennetts's.

Oh man. I'm so dead from all the cute!

LOL. The last photo made me laugh really hard. HAHA.

I love the white leucistic tammar wallaby. :D So cute! I actually don't mind it looks like a giant rat, because I happen to love rats.

These are all great, but I particularly like the swamp wallaby. He or she has enormous presence for what is likely a very cryptic species in the wild. My other favorite is of course the wombat! :D Who doesn't love wombats (cross and fearsome with the claws though they may be)?

These are all so cute. ESPECIALLY the wombat! Ahaha!
