Thank you guys, I didn't think any one would be interested other than Ash who asked for a pic !

Well these may look cute (and I think pet ones are) but quite a solid & heavy animal more so for they size
Which is like a small pig, I don't have any photos of they burrows or them near one, even thou I have seen tens of them going down them .

I was once charged by one in long grass (actually gave me a fright) I leaped over it only to be charged harder & faster, these have powerfully fore legs with strong claws (for digging) & large teeth, I had no idea they charged or what they could do when they got you !

As it turn out she had a tiny cub & when I jumped over her nearly landed on the cub, so she kept up the attack embarrassing really after being charged by Buffalo & Bantang, I never told any one till now.

These are a marsupial & have a small pouch, I suppose the young get to heavy to carry in they pouches
The hair is coarse but would make a warm hat I guess, officially protect as a Australia native, but can be killed on crop/land damage permits as numbers get high some times, like in Tassie now with the Devil numbers down to low levels !

I was going to write more, but it would turn into a National Geographic article
