Port Douglas, Queensland: March 25
Most of these pictures depict native Queensland mammals residing at the Rain Forest Habitat wildlife park and aviary in Port Douglas.
The first image shows a tree kangaroo.
The next two images show a female kangaroo with a joey in her pouch. The young animal's head emerged when mom took a drink from a stream; her offspring took the opportunity to nibble on a few stems of grass.
The last two images show paddymelons, small marsupials commonly seen in Queensland. The mother with a joey in her pouch was in the wildlife park; I found the other animal was in the wild.
