Safe and warm in winter

It's only 4C, but this little Queenslander is feeling safe and warm in his winter woollies. Black-striped wallabies (Notamacropus dorsalis) are my favourite macropods. - shy and elusive, they have a preference for forested country with dense under story - which perfectly describes this refuge. Black-striped wallabies are all but gone from their former habitat in New South Wales, and are also disappearing in Queensland as ground cover is cleared to create cattle pasture. They are listed as ENDANGERED on the schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act because:
* The population and distribution have been reduced to a critical level
* They face severe threatening processes
* They are an ecological specialist (they depend on particular types of diet or habitat)
* They have poor recovery potential
In our area, weekend-warrior style urban cowboys with 4WD, firearms and severe IQ deficits will shoot black-striped wallabies because they don't know the difference between an eastern grey kangaroo and a wallaby. Or a cow, for that matter. If it has fur and moves, they'll probably pull the trigger. Oxygen thieves.
