[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77638212, member: 628"] Indigenous Rangers Photograph Blind ‘Marsupial Mole’ Seldom Seen by Humans Amid its Strange and Wild Land [IMG]https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Northern-marsupial-mole-supplied-KJ-Rangers-1024x571.jpg[/IMG]Northern marsupial mole – Courtesy of KJ Rangers This tiny creature is a northern marsupial mole, a card-carrying member of one of the strangest landscapes on Earth. The Western Deserts of Australia bristle, slither, and burrow with life; much of it unseen by the few passersby.

Small, blind, hairy, and shy, the marsupial moles carry their young around in a pouch like kangaroos, but burrow underground using their noses to make up for their lack of eyesight like moles. “Some people’s first thought was, ‘Are these photos an April Fools’ Day joke?'” desert wildlife expert Gareth Catt[URL='https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-07/-northern-marsupial-mole-kakarratul-sighted-/103662744'] told ABC News Down Under.[/URL] “To see a close-up photo like this is really exciting—I’ve never seen one myself so I’m pretty jealous of the rangers!” The rangers Mr. Catt is referring to are the Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa (KJ) Martu rangers, a group of Aboriginal conservationists who make their homes and their bread in the Western Deserts in the state of Western Australia.
