Interesting creature. Enjoy taking pictures of this guy. Never stop moving.
(Phys.org)—An international team of researchers has found genetic evidence that suggests that colugos are part of a primate sister group. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the team describes how they obtained tissue samples of the gliding mammals, performed genetic testing on them and found a surprising relationship between them and primates.
The Quenda, or Southern Brown Bandicoot, is a threatened species in Western Australia. It almost has the size of a small rabbit. Heavy, plump end and a somewhat jerking and clumsy way to move around, which may be the reason why the females sometimes lose a baby out of the pouch, which is turned 'backwards', opening to her rear end. The bandicoot lives on roots, bulbs, insects, snails etc, which it digs out of the ground with the long snout. The traces of a bandicoot in soft soil are unmistakable. I used to have these fine little ones on my property, but as one neighbour kept moving in on the creek area, placing increasing numbers of ponies and sheep where the bandicoots used to hide in the thick undergrowth, I have not seen them around for years. This fella was spotted in central Albany, where it lives in a park, hopefully safe from feral cats and foxes, which are major predators on the original fauna in Australia. Bandicoots are mostly nocturnal, but not strictly. However, the light was poor, so obtaining a sharp photo did cost quite a few attempts. While I was shooting, a rat came out of the shrubs to share whatever food the bandicoot had found. But the bandicoot was not in for that and became very aggressive. The rat disappeared immediately and did not return. Unfortunately I have only very blurred shots of this scene. Central Albany, Western Australia

Tarsier, any of about 13 species of small leaping primates found only on various islands of Southeast Asia. Tarsiers are intermediate in form between lemurs and monkeys and are only about 9–16 cm (3.5–6 inches) long, with a tail extending twice that length. They are nocturnal and have a well-developed sense of smell.
