Wombats have the largest brain of any #marsupial. Their blank expressions are just a reflection of the fact that they know they can outsmart you.🧠

Not many animals are the shape of an #echidna, which is a shame.

A side view of an echidna - a brown, spiky rounded animal the size and shape of a loaf of bread, with a long naked pointy snout sticking horizontally from its almost-flat face

A #platypus waddles her way upstream, constantly foraging. As well as using touch to find food, platypus bills can detect the electrical impulses given off by their prey's muscular contractions.

Everyone loves a list. 🤓🗒️
I've done my #MammalWatching tally for 2025 & it was a quiet one: just 40 species, & one first-timer (I was lucky to make two mammal trips to Australia this year, but nowhere else).
But that newbie was the #numbat - a beast that's been on my wish-list for decades.😀 #WildOz
The top half of a spreadsheet of all the mammals I saw in 2025. It has columns for the species name, the place and date I saw it for the first time, whether I've seen it in Australia, India, North America, Africa and Europe, and where I saw it in each year - filtered to only show species seen in 2025.

That feeling when you're looking for #otters & you spot a long, dark sinewy mammal slinking along the stream, but it turns out to be a mink.
These are invasive species in Britain. When I first saw this one it had a small mammal in its mouth. Cute though. #BreconBeacons #WildWales #MammalWatching

and I'm not the only one stalking these Bhutan roadsides...

came round the corner this morning to see a pack of Dhole, who quickly put some distance between us

and the same stretch of road had some very fresh Tiger pug marks

There really is no doubt - #wombats are among the greatest things there have ever been. Even just stood around eating grass, they are glorious.
