Mum is back for dinner. That pouch is getting bigger.
Two expecting mums and an ever hopeful male chasing them around but making time for his other interest.

A few more visitors but they don’t hang around.
Just one of the boys here so far.
Happy Easter to those who indulge.
Mum slept in and luckily no one else has turned up so she’s still getting to enjoy some breakfast.
It’s brekkie time!
Happy hump day all.
Mum and a male shadow here for breakfast.

Mum came for lunch AND dinner. Her pouch is getting bigger so she needs more sustenance.

Dreams of environmental redemption: Reanimate the thylacine
"Perhaps we want an iconic marsupial we can walk on a lead to our local brunch spot."
"Certainly we are not up to the job: we have no experience in making thylacines happy. We have restructured the habitat where the tiger lived, decimated its prey, destroyed its culture. We have built a lot of roads: if everything goes very well and thylacines become as common as pademelons, we can look forward to seeing one on our morning commute, smeared across the highway by a logging truck."
"More likely we are hoping for something to erase our guilt, not just for the extinction of this animal (we could blame someone else for that) but for all the extinctions to come. More likely we want to feel that the damage we do isn’t permanent, that we can travel back in time." Jane Rawson
