Great photos. I actually got to see some in the wild whilst in Australia. Yes, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction

Yeah. Apparently the males have two nasty little spur-like appendeges, one under each hind foot. Ouch! Strange-looking little buggers for sure.

If my guess is correct, these little guys are native to Australia? I always thought that they were marsupials but they appear to be in a class of their own.
