Meet the red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis). A relative to kangaroos and wallabies, this critter is a marsupial species that lives in parts of eastern Australia. The shy animal inhabits forests, grassland, or scrub, where it forages for grass, roots, and leaves, typically during the night. Feeding during darker hours helps conceal this animal from predators like dingos and raptors.

There’s a pademelon snoozing in my MIL’s garden.

(I mean, I’m not married, but what do you call your partner’s mum?)

Anyway back to the cutie. It just stretched and settled its little face back on its front paws.
