Spunky marsupial predator found in NSW for the first time. Mulgara = awesome. Great work by Wild Deserts @OEHmedia @WestBec @UNSW https://t.co/KwPGUe0DDr

@CoorongDan1 I know! Going to be a big day of decisions tomorrow!

@moth_nut Incredible! Looks like a painting!

[Arid Recovery @AridRecovery]

There's hope this #ThreatenedSpeciesDay if animals like this Burrowing Bettong can learn to co-exist with #FeralCats
