The headline got me; I was hoping it to have been the thylacine.

Thanks Red Badger. Adorable (someone said it) might be a stretch -- these look a little too much like a possum in the face -- but I did go "awwwww" for this pic (below). Marsupials tend to be naturally, well, not exactly tame, but generally pretty open to the experience of human handling. Platypus are super friendly, I've heard tell -- so long as you say "wabbit season!" first.

Reduced rabbit populations over the past 20 years are thought to have benefited the species. Credit: Katherine Moseby.

Same here. The thylacine has been seen close up, nocturnally, from time o time over the past 40-50 years, in rural areas. It’s *possible* that they survive in dangerously low numbers. That would be nice.
